Hey,
I'm using Pidgin 2.7.9 (libpurple 2.7.9) and get random crashes.
I'm not posting this as bug report straight away because maybe the problem is on my side so, a suggestion on how to go would be appreciated. :)

here's the (non-full) backtrace

Code:
(Pidgin:9834): Json-CRITICAL **: json_node_get_int: assertion `node != NULL' failed

Run it from a terminal.
Is there any output?

No crash since my last post ... I'll report back as soon as it happens again.

Searching for the first error message, this could have to do with pidgin-facebookchat. At least all Google results appear to have to do with chat applications and Facebook.

Well, probably ... I usually disable the facebook connection nowadays since I use guifications as well and you may image what it means when you are logged on and off to facebook about each two minutes. :evil:

I'll bear it a while anyways, just to check if the crash happens.
At least none of the "problematic" functions/methods mentioned here http://trac.adium.im/wiki/FacebookChat seem to be the cause but purple_account_get_protocol_id() - maybe it has to be added to the list - but let's see first.
