Intermittent segfaults

[ghost]

Version: pidgin-opensteamworks-git 1.6.1.r71.gfeece3c Distro: Arch DE: Plasma 5.16

i ran pidgin --debug to see if I could get further information. The last few seconds of debug info follow:

(05:10:14) util: Writing file accounts.xml to directory /home/xxx/.purple
(05:10:14) util: Writing file /home/xxx/.purple/accounts.xml
(05:10:22) steam: getting url /ISteamWebUserPresenceOAuth/Poll/v0001
Pidgin 2.13.0 has segfaulted and attempted to dump a core file.

The output of coredumpctl debug follow:

I also directly upgraded from 1.6.1.r62.gab6d446-1 directly to r71 (yes, I haven't upgraded in a while, but oh well). Segfaulting only started happening after upgrading to r71.

If there's anything else I can do to help let me know.

Can you give that commit a try? Seems that its likely to do with when the server rate-limits us

[undeference]

What commit? It just happened again using commit a68e311bce0bc52cd2556c9b14ea5009ebb5f83c from Wed Sep 11. This time i see #6 0x00007fb4f48317f2 in g_hostname_is_ip_address (hostname=0x20 <error: Cannot access memory at address 0x20>) at ../glib/ghostutils.c:705

[EionRobb]

Oops, I'm an idiot and didn't push the commit. Sorry, I meant with ac9f7d2c78ba9760d805674758610958a2903f43

[undeference]

I haven't seen this again, so I think you fixed it.
