I was using Yahoo Messenger. It worked the first time, but after that I keep getting this error and it won't run. I've reinstalled it. I don't know what is wrong. How do I fix this error?

a few different options:
(1) find the faulty pointer with gdb and/or valgrind, fix the source, recompile.
(2) file a bug report.
(3) try experimenting:
My intuition says me that it created a few configuration files when you ran it the first time. Try removing those (or mv'ing them to somewhere else).
