When I run gaim, It segfaults almost immediately after logging me in,
every time I run it on way-mo-money.mit.edu.  N.B.: I'm logging into
way-mo-money over an X connection from afar.  I doubt this is what's
causing the error, but I thought I'd mention it anyway.  I am logging in
to AIM and MSN when it cores on me.  I've included the backtrace below.
If you want the core, I can give it to you.  Also, here's some gdb
wickedness for your amusement from when I tried to run gaim from within
gdb:

>> Gaim's DNS child got a SIGTRAP signal.
>> This can be caused by trying to run gaim inside gdb.
>> There is a known gdb bug which prevents this.  Supposedly gaim
>> should have detected you were using gdb and used an ugly hack,
>> check cope_with_gdb_brokenness() in proxy.c.
>>
>> For more info about this bug, see
>> http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-07/msg00349.html

Keep me posted.
