Comment:

 Yes, that is correct, we're prompting for SecurID because of a request
 from the server.  Maybe SecurID is configured for your account but
 temporarily disabled or something?  I haven't heard of this before.  It's
 possible I could figure out what's causing it if I had a packet capture to
 look at, but no guarantees.

 If you're comfortable with the idea of sending your network traffic to me
 then you can take a packet capture using Wireshark (from
 http://www.wireshark.org/).  Just start Wireshark, start capturing packets
 on your primary network device, then start Pidgin and signon.  Once you've
 received the SecurID prompt wait a second or two then stop Wireshark and
 save the packets to a file in the pcap format.

 And I'd recommend emailing that to me at mark at kingant.net.  Or you could
 paste it here if you really wanted to.  There shouldn't be a lot of
 personal information in the packet capture, mostly just your screen name.
 There might also be an md5 checksum of your password+another string--I
 don't remember if that is sent before or after the SecurID request.
