Minbif

Seems specific to MSN, as I couldn't reproduce the bug with Yahoo.

The full backtrace is:

This is a MSN libpurple's plugin crash, so I opened a ticket on pidgin.im to report it.

The only way to fix it without fix libpurple, is to disable aliases. So I prefer when it crashes. For now.

Ok this is fixed upstream:

http://developer.pidgin.im/viewmtn/revision/info/e5d6fce6e0c43fe410e8aec7c79150b4a12858a0

There isn't so any fix on minbif, just upgrade when there will be a new libpurple release.
