Discovered that is crashes a lot, on ubuntu. Pretty stable (haven’t noticed it crashed yet) on windows.
Verdict thus far: good on windows. Horrible on ubuntu.
Day 1
I decided to try a new msn protocol for pidgin.im today. Why? Was just browsing the list of plugins, and saw the alternative…

Looked at the list of added benefits, and decided to give it a try… lets see if I stick with it. So far, it is fast on start up. Interesting to see that it picked up a ton of friend requests, that I didn’t see before.
debugging segfaults is not fun.
My low key technique:
- place a printf(“made it here: %s, %s+ %s\n”, __METHOD__, __LINE__, __FILE__); everywhere…
- put “DIE(‘something’);” to figure out the exact line that fails. If dies, good. move it further down. If it segfaults, move the die statement up. Until you’ve found the exact line that fails.
- Figure out why it’s segfaulting… uh… good luck with that. Google, and look at the changelog in PHP to see if it’s been fixed.
An easier option, if I were the one controlling the box — Update to the latest PHP.
