gaim crash after an unsuccessfull connection "read error" (msn_session_set_login_step)

same crash, I am connected directly without a Proxy.

Debug backtrace:

Might be similar to http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1235998&group_id=235&atid=100235 upstream which has been closed without any clear reason (or the SF bug tracker is confusing)? Does anybody knows if that has been fixed or if the bug should be reopened upstream?

I'm getting the same behaviour, too. In fact, I've been getting crashes lately in many different situations, i.e. upon failed MSN login, window closure or completely random. However, this crash report refers to a crash occured after an unsuccesful MSN connection.

OS: Edgy eft fully updated on Fujitsu A1667G2.

Oh wow, same here. I didnt think those would be related and attempted to
submit a bugreport previously for them, I am not sure if it worked or not
though. But I have had those same issues. I would give you a copy of my
crash reports for those incidenets, but I had to reformat about 9 times in
the last 3 days. I am trying to dual boot Ubuntu Edgy Eft 6.10 w/ all the
updates and OpenSuSE 10.2 w/ all updates (of course). And I have been having
some nasty Grub issues, so I am Lilo'ing it and things are good so far,
havent tried booting into Edgy yet since adding the info to lilo.conf for
it. Been more trying to get important business work done first. (I like
money). Well if you come across any ideas or solutions please let me know.
As when I get straight here I will work on seeing what I can do to resolve
that issue also. Thanks for the reply.

Edgy and gaim are not supported anymore. Please open a new bug if you get a crash with pidgin in a later version of Ubuntu. The link to upstream bug gives just an error message.
