 Hi!
 I'm using Pidgin 2.10.0 (libpurple 2.10.0). on 2 machines: Win7 x64 and
 Win Vista x64. Clean install, no 3rd party plugins.
 I'm connecting to an XMPP account at vk.com which is russian social
 network - like facebook.
 I have more than 1500 contacts in the contact list and Pidgin errors out
 with the message from subject all the time.
 I collected a debug log and looks like it fails after loading some decent
 portion of my contact list.
 Is there a limitation on contact list size that you know of?
