This plugin crashes pidgin #9

Open tomiii00 opened 6 years ago

tomiii00 commented 6 years ago

On some flavors of linux (e.g. Oracle Linux 7.4) this plugin crashes pidgin on startup if credentials are already stored in the keyring. If no credentials are stored yet, pidgin starts ok but then crashes on exit.

On other flavors (e.g. Fedora 24) pidgin always crashes on exit when this plugin is enabled.

I found https://bugs.otr.im/plugins/pidgin-otr/issues/136 which describes similar symptoms, but no updates since March 2016. :-( Happy to help by providing stack traces or any other pertinent info upon request. I already tried instrumenting the code for troubleshooting purposes but the problem appears to lie outside of this plugin's code. Bummer.

Hey, thanks for the feedback.

I created the issue mentioned above and I waited for a response and by time I forgot about it. In my case pidgin crashed only if I used it with the otr extension that causes, as far as I remember, a null pointer exception.

So maybe it is possible to circumvent this problem by now.

I hope I have some spare time to check that within the next few days :-)
