 My DSL connection was closed while pidgin was running. Pidgin wrote the
 last
 error message into the current_error -> description tag but not in the
 correct
 UTF-8 encoding but in my system's de_DE.ISO-9660-15 encoding. This made
 accounts.xml invalid XML and pidgin started with an empty accounts list:



 # xmllint .purple/accounts.xml[[BR]]
 .purple/accounts.xml:375: parser error : Input is not proper UTF-8,
 indicate
 encoding !
 Bytes: 0xE4 0x72 0x65 0x72
 Temporärer Fehler bei der Namensauflösung</description>
       ^


 pidgin should check the encoding of this error message before writing this
 file.
