#12197: 'Unable to add buddy1 due to unknown error' upon login of AIM account

--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 In 2.7.1, I logged into my AIM account only to be assaulted by a barrage
 of popups saying the above error. I disabled my account and then reenabled
 it, but the barrage continued until I'm guessing it went though my entire
 buddy list. Afterwards, no buddies were showing up in the list from that
 account. I again disabled and reenabled the account, but they still did
 not show. I exited Pidgin and started it again, but the account still did
 not show. I tried adding a new account, only to be hit with 'Unable to add
 <buddyname> due to unknown error' and 'Unable to add <buddyname> to group
 <groupname> due to unknown error.' I tried uninstalling and reinstalling
 2.7.1, but the error persisted. I uninstalled 2.7.1 and installed 2.7.0,
 and my buddies appeared fine and there was no error.
