New pidgin packages are available for Slackware 12.0, 12.1, 12.2, 13.0, 13.1,

Here are the details from the Slackware 13.1 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/pidgin-2.7.3-i486-1_slack13.1.txz: Upgraded.
This fixes a crash due to malformed X-Status messages.

(* Security fix *)

Where to find the new packages:

HINT: Getting slow download speeds from ftp.slackware.com?
Give slackware.osuosl.org a try. This is another primary FTP site
for Slackware that can be considerably faster than downloading
directly from ftp.slackware.com.

Thanks to the friendly folks at the OSU Open Source Lab
(http://osuosl.org) for donating additional FTP and rsync hosting
to the Slackware project! :-)

Also see the “Get Slack” section on http://slackware.com for
additional mirror sites near you.
