Bug Description

Binary package hint: pidgin

System: Ubuntu 10.10 i386
Package: pidgin 1:2.7.3-1ubuntu3.2

If I recieve an inline image via IM (as a data URL), Pidgin crashes when I click that "link" or hover it.

When I start pidgin -d via terminal I get this:

(10:52:21) Gdk: Native Windows wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported
(10:52:21) util: Writing file prefs.xml to directory /home/moschlar/.purple
(10:52:21) util: Writing file /home/moschlar/.purple/prefs.xml
The program 'Pidgin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 9434 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
