 I am getting the following error while starting Pidgin 2.3.1 on English
 XP/SP2.

 "An error has encountered reading your buddy list. They have not been
 loaded, the old file has been renamed to ....."

 Pidgin starts with a fresh blist.xml, downloads the list of contacts from
 yahoo.com, and sure enough, next start triggers the exact same error
 again. Something about the yahoo contact list is confusing Pidgin.

 This is pretty serious as this file gets reset which is not good.

 I have uploaded both the error message screenshot, as well as the
 blist.xml file in question. Thanks!
