Unable to add the buddy 1 for an unknown reason.

[Bill Moseley]

Anyone have ideas about this?  It's very annoying as I have to kill pidgin
and restart when this happens.

I did note: http://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/3697

So, I set the privacy for AIM to only accept connections from buddies on my
list.  Not sure if it's just AIM I need to set for or other protocols.
Not clear if that's the recommended fix, or not.

Thanks,
