 Replying to [comment:16 Valdar]:
 > I am using windows xp and have had this same issue happen twice.  After
 a hard reset my blist.xml and my blist.xml~ file is empty.  The same for
 accounts.xml and accounts.xml~.

 This is quite obviously a Windows bug; there is no way for this to happen
 on a working POSIX filesystem.  (See libpurple/util.c, function
 purple_util_write_data_to_file if you would like to verify this for
 yourself.)  I don't know why you are seeing it, but my best suggestion is
 not to hard reboot the box.  If Windows is too unstable to prevent that, I
 suggest installing an operating system.
