Crash (throwing an instance of 'int')

[Imhotep-2700bc]

Hello,
I'm using version whatsapp-purple 0.9.0 with Pidgin 2.10.12 (libpurple 2.10.12) on Linux. It crashes not every time but quite often after the start with:

(18:33:29) whatsapp: Updating user profile picture for 49xxxxxxxxx
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'int'
dns[19317]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!
Abgebrochen
$ dns[19316]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!
dns[19315]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!
dns[19314]: Oops, father has gone, wait for me, wait...!

The problem appeared after I was added to an additional chat group. As a workaround it helps when I remove some buddys, regardless of which.

Amount of buddys: 96
Count of members in chat group 1: 45
Count of members in chat group 2: 13
Count of members in chat group 3: 45

Another hint: It seems pidgin starts well, when a message is waiting in one of the chat rooms. It crashes when there is no message to pick up.

Greetings

I have similar problem.#385
I confirm it do not crashes if there is a messages waiting to be delivered in a group chat.
Any solution ?

Unfortunately no solution, only a workaround. Meanwhile group 3 has been deleted and I reduced the amount of buddys. Now it works again.

Have same issue. Removing couple of contacts from whatsapp list solves it =/

Have the same issue. It looks like only a maximum number of contacts is possible. Pidgin starts crashing when I add an extra contact, irrespective of which one. The issue goes away when I remove a contact.

PS: I have 21 whatsapp contacts, and 7 groups.

Issue #385 is related to this. The fix is trivial, I'll try to commit it at some point.

It has started to crash with half-cleaned blist.xml
David, please, do something.
