If I manually type the URL for 1208209 into my browser I get a page that
suggests it might exist and be private.  So there is a good chance this
is another case of bug #764414 causing confusion.  I don't know why the
system does not make 1 private bug and mark everything ever raised as a
duplicate of that.  The experience for users would not change and
developers might see a bit less bug noise, which seems to be the main
concern in most of the 764414 family of woes.

Title:
  pidgin crashed with SIGSEGV in start_thread() on login to Ubuntu

Status in pidgin package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I logged into Ubuntu desktop this morning after shutting down the
  machine overnight.  When it had logged in a message about Pidgin
  having experienced a problem was on the screen.  The timestamp on
  /var/crash/_usr_bin_pidgin.1000.crash suggests this did happen while
  logging into the Unity desktop this morning.

  Recent changes including switch to the Skype plugin (instead of the
  Skype (D-Bus) one) and setting Skype as a startup application inside
  the Startup Applications application.  Skype started but did not login
  as I had not saved my password into it.
