Thanks for the bug report. Where does it crash if you strace it?

This is the last of the strace output just prior to the crash

David, is this still happening? I can't reproduce this on rawhide.

yes, still happening

David, are you using the latest tp-gabble-0.7.12 that was built yesterday?  I know that release had a couple of bug fixes in it that dealt with dbus issues.

telepathy-gabble-0.7.10-1.fc10.x86_64 ... hrmm this should have been automatically updated yet it appears not to, screw you yum.

Manually updating fixes this, thank you Brian
