Comment(by pentor):

 ok.
 The only "odd" part about this is, when I run the native AOL IM Client
 5.9.6089 on it's own, it stays up and rock solid (connected to the same
 FaceTimeserver).

 So there must be a "keepalive" or "hearbeat" mechanism that Pidgin might
 be checking, that the native AOL IM Client does not.  It could very well
 be that (just speculation) some other port numbers are being used for the
 keepalives that Facetime doesn't allow (again, just a hunch).

 Something is different between the Pidgin implementation, and the native
 5.9.6089 client.  I fuly realize, that up until now (before the Facetime
 Server upgrade) things worked wondrfully.  So, I realize it's not a Pidgin
 "bug" per se, but something that used to work, doesn't now.
