I haven't encountered that, but I don't use Pidgin with non-ASCII text.

I'd be surprised if this were a bug for gNewSense; have you checked with 
Pidgin's developers to see if they're aware of the problem?

I'd suspect that you could see this same behavior with another GNU/Linux 
distribution.  Have you tried doing the same thing with another 
GNU/Linux distribution?  You might try this in a distribution which 
doesn't inherit the same packages as gNewSense (so, not Ubuntu); perhaps 
Fedora (since they have a live CD)?

It seems to me that no matter what you put in the text box, Pidgin 
should never crash.
