Hi, pidgin dev here, got a report from an ubuntu artful user that it
generated a bunch of zombie processes.
I noticed a patch named "hg-remove-SIGCHLD-handler.patch" that only
exists in ubuntu and not in debian, and seems to be a backport of
https://bitbucket.org/pidgin/main/commits/161320946afdd6
This is equivalent to https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=648419
The backtrace of that bug shows remove_capslock_feedback() instead of
keymap_state_changed() because remove_capslock_feedback() is tail-called
from keymap_state_changed(). The crash is essentially the same (priv
being null), t
Okay got my dev pc back and tested this.
The test case in the description is passing with the wily-proposed
package, 2.10.11-0ubuntu4.1
Had to adjust the fd limit i originally suggested for the test to be
more reliable - 20 was a bit too low and was sometimes failing during
startup even, so I use
Sorry for the delay testing this, just got my dev pc back.
Both test cases from the description are passing with the wily-proposed
packages, version 1.6.3-1ubuntu1

I haven't had access to my dev computer for a few weeks so I couldn't
test that wily-proposed package yet. I would appreciate if someone else
did - the test case in the description is fairly easy to set up, IMO.
However, note that bug #1529445 is not the same thing as this bug - the
wily-proposed
That's how bugs work here. They start as something for development
versions only and then they are nominated to be fixed in stable
releases.

Created bug 1529445, which is about a different fd leak in gstreamer
1.6.0 itself that can result in the exact same crash in pidgin as this
bug.
It's not as straightforward as this bug in that it doesn't leak
constantly for all users, but requires, for example, not having a sound
card or some othe
Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 15.10 includes gstreamer 1.6.0. There were several important leak
fixes in 1.6.1, some of which also meant holding references to file
descriptors around, which can result in crashes once the fd limit is
hit.
