New description:

 I have read about the Yahoo issues, and 2.5.7 and 2.5.8 did fix my issue
 at home on my broadband connection, but not at work.  Pidgin still does
 not work through my corporate SOCKS5 proxy server since the Yahoo issues
 started, but Trillian does.

 Pidgin had always worked on my corporate LAN using my corporate SOCKS5
 proxy until Yahoo made all these changes and broke Pidgin, and it has
 never worked since.  2.5.7 does not work and 2.5.8 does not work with the
 SOCKS5 proxy, and I am using the same proxy and port as I always have and
 it works in Trillian.

 The port my proxy uses is 1080.  When I do a netstat -a when connected
 with Trillian, it shows a connection to the proxy on port 5050 which is
 the Yahoo port.

 A netstat -a with pidgin shows a connection to the proxy on port 1080, but
 I get an error saying the server refused connection.  Sometimes I get an
 error saying "unable to connect to login.yahoo.com: SSL handshake failed."
 Please see attached screenshots.
