Before running gaim, run:
export MALLOC_CHECK_=0

It won't actually fix the glibc problem but gaim won't be killed so you'll be able to use it. I have to do this for a couple of apps and it seem to do the trick.

Is this gaim 1.5 or 2.0? I recommend using gaim-beta or gaim-svn (2.0), the 1.5 series is getting a bit long in the tooth.

This was for gaim 1.5. I upgraded to gaim2.0 from testing but that required a newer version of dbus which broke other stuff then.
So I ended up downgrading the dbus again and using gaim-svn from unstable, which works fine. I just wonder why gaim started to crash. I didn't upgrade or anything. Could this be a problem with one of the protocols?
