Description of problem: Gaim crashes randomly even without being in use. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gaim-1.5.0-9.fc4 gaim-debuginfo-1.5.0-9.fc4 How reproducible: Sometimes. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start Gaim. 2. Wait long enough. 3. Crash. Additional info: Because Gaim started to disappear randomly I decided to restart the program from gdb in order to get a useful stack trace. However it seems that there isn't much of a stack trace: (gdb) run Starting program: /usr/bin/gaim Reading symbols from shared object read from target memory...done. Loaded system supplied DSO at 0x111000 [Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled] [New Thread -1208338752 (LWP 6328)] Detaching after fork from child process 6331. Detaching after fork from child process 6332. Creating link /home/evert/.kde/socket-fedora. can't create mcop directory Program exited with code 01. (gdb) thread apply all bt (gdb) bt No stack. (gdb) When trying to establish a new connection I received the following message initially: "The MSN servers are temporarily unavailable. Please wait and try again.". I don't know if this has anything to do with the crash though.

The arts bug snuck into FC4 updates?
Creating link /home/evert/.kde/socket-fedora. can't create mcop directory ^^ they're the key lines to me, and other recent duplicate reports say that the update from the weekend didn't help at all.
Doing "rpm -qi gaim" says: Build Host: hs20-bc1-4.build.redhat.com
