[Bug 86930] [apport] gaim crashed with SIGSEGV in pthread_mutex_lock()

[Michael R. Head]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gaim

I'm not super excited about reporting this bug, but maybe it can be
retargetted and resummarized if there's something useful in these apport
files.

Basically what happened was that I left my machine in the morning with
gaim on and came back at night. When I attempted to access gaim, I was
able to read some of the messages that had collected during the day but
at some point, gaim locked up. All the windows repainted with the flat
gray color that indicates the program's GTK main loop is hung. Hoping
there was something I could do besides killall gaim, I did a "sudo
invoke-rc.d dbus restart". It was during the dbus restart process that
gaim crashed and produced this report.

If this is useless, feel free to close, and I apologize for wasting
malone resources. Next time it happens, I'll try to attach to the
process via gdb and get a better stack trace.
