I avoid git/etc. software after a lot of bad experiences with it fixing 
minor bugs but introducing critical bugs.  I rebuilt pan 0.154 but could 
try something from git later.

This time I edited pan.SlackBuild to not strip the binary and it's like 
you explained above.  I ran gdb with instructions from 
http://pidgin.im/development/debugging/ and got an almost 30MB error 
log... is this what you want or did I do something wrong, and if it's 
useful, where should I post it?
