 Hi,

 [Having already started this then reviewed the below I am not even sure if
 I should submit this as it turns out that my $PATH was pointing at
 /usr/local/bin/pidgin, which was pidgin-2.5.0vv, instead of
 /usr/bin/pidgin, which was pidgin-2.4.3-1.fc9.i386. Using the latter
 Fedora version does not exhibit this bug, and may simply be indicative of
 the need to merge some stuff into the 2.5.0vv train. Oh well, never mind]

 I've recently started getting this error, I think it might have been after
 I re-organised a bunch of IM Buddies in Pidgin.

 Anyway, looking at the debug log, the only reference to '205' which does
 not look inconsequential, or a data-encoding artifact is in this section
 of the debug output:

 I can provide more detail if needed, but I really don't know what else to
 say about it, as the error popup of:

 "Unable to add user

 Unknown error (205)"

 Which only has the option to 'Close' doesn't give me much to go on.

 K.
