Description Franklin Weng 2012-05-03 15:12:34 UTC 
Set up an MSN/XMPP or Windows Live Messenger account. Use "Account setting" -> "Edit Identity" and change the nickname.  Then click OK.  Contact list crashes every time.

I couldn't get the backtrace log since it was always directed to Dr. Konqi and I got nothing even running with gdb.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set up a MSN/XMPP or Windows Live Messenger account
2. Edit identity and change the nickname
3. Click OK
Actual Results:  
Contact list crashes.

Expected Results:  
Should not crash.

I can't reproduce, so we need a backtrace.

To generate a backtrace:
close all instances, 
start with --nofork.

(in gdb that's "run --nofork")

I can't reproduce it either, please try it with latest master and try to get the backtrace.
Comment 3 Martin Klapetek 2013-01-04 15:49:55 UTC 
3 people were not able to reproduce this crash with 0.5.x and no information was posted for 9 months, closing. Please reopen with backtrace if it still crashes for you with 0.5.x, thanks.
Comment 4 Daniele E. Domenichelli 2013-01-04 15:55:52 UTC 
Confirming that I can't reproduce it either.
