Bitlbee using libpurple crash when recieve a file from ICQ

[anonymous]

Bitlbe-libpurple crashed when a other ICQ-Client will send a file to me.

A backtrace might help in trackingthis down. Otherwise I'll just close this; the purple variant isn't really supported.

Hello! Thank you for the answer. How can I post a backtrace?

Quit anyway? (y or n)

I'm afraid there's very little I can do about that. This could very well be a libpurple bug, but it might of course be triggered by how it's connected to BitlBee.

This backtrace doesn't have a *single* line of BitlBee code in it though, and in fact not even any libpurple code. It might just be passing wrong info to GLib.

Or the backtrace got corrupted.. Anyway, I'm afraid I can't help here, sorry. I hope a different libpurple version will help. You could check whether this problem occurs with other libpurple-based clients or not.
