I haven't looked at the code, but am assuming that a buffer must be getting overflowed.  The message that first triggered the crash for me is attached to this email (it's the email filters from a webmail application).  It crashes gaim when sent via ICQ - other protocols not tested.

Next time please post it to sf bugtracker, preferably with a backtrace.
It is constantly checked, but sometimes the bugs are not reproducible
and so cannot be fixed. I created a bug report for you this time:
