Pidgin MSN error

[Ethan Blanton]

Blackwing Dragon spake unto us the following wisdom:
> I have a fairly large msn list, comprised of several hundred people -
> pidgin usually shows 200-300 online for obvious reasons. However,
> lately, upon launch , it has started displaying an error in my own
> language that I can only translate as "MSN error : The username

Try removing the musictracker plugin, and see if this problem goes away.

The latest version is not a date.  The Help | About dialog will give
you an actual version number.  Please make sure you are using 2.5.5.
