#6443: Repair of Corrupt blist.xml
-------------------+--------------------------------------------------------

 Somehow my blist.xml file became corrupted so that a group name looks like
 this:

 ''group name='uBusiness'''

 This causes pidgin to display the following message:

 '''Error Reading blist.xml

 '''An error was encountered reading your buddy list.  They have not been
 loaded, and the old file has been renamed to C:\Users\my
 name\AppData\Roaming\.purple\blist.xml~.'''

 When I edit blist.xml and remove the ''u'' characters and save it,
 pidgin loads without the error, however, the blist.xml file is re-
 corrupted and a restart produces the same error.

 Any ideas on how to correct this?

 Thank you.
