#9414: Yahoo! fails to connect, connecting forever

 Had my Yahoo account working in the past, but it fails to connect now.
 Instead Pidgin remains "Connecting" seemingly forever. Maybe they changed
 something for the Yahoo server(s)?

 Running "`pidgin -d`" on the command line gives me these lines when I
 enable Yahoo:
 {{{
 proxy: Attempting connection to 68.180.217.12
 proxy: Connecting to scs.msg.yahoo.com:5050 with no proxy
 proxy: Connection in progress
 proxy: Connecting to scs.msg.yahoo.com:5050.
 yahoo: 93 bytes to read, rxlen is 113
 yahoo: Yahoo Service: 0x57 Status: 1
 yahoo: yahoo status: 0
 }}}

 I also have used wireshark to look at the packets transmitted, in case
 they are of any use to you:
  * sent service=0x57 status=0 key=1
  * reveived service=0x57 status=1 keys=1,13,94
  * received service=0x54 status=0 keys=0,6,96,1,244,135

 I encountered and investigated the issue on Linux, but I got a report from
 a Windows user deswcribing the same connection problem.

 Maybe ticket #9411 has the same cause as well, I don't know.
