 OOH!  I think I found the cause of a bug!  I changed this function in
 revision
 eadc83c534fbbc673a6876ddb1e0bdac8428c07b to try to make it cleaner.  When
 I
 did that, I added a break here when I should have added a continue.  The
 result
 is that if we encounter a non-utf8 name for an item in your server side
 buddy
 list then we bail out earlier and don't add any server stored buddies to
 your
 local list.  That's bad.  I think this caused a lot of people to not see
 their
 complete buddy list.  This probably affected ICQ users a lot more than AIM
 users, because ICQ users tend to use more 3rd party IM clients, and 3rd
 party
 IM clients sometimes put non-utf8 text in the name field of these items
 when
 they shouldn't.

 Hopefully fixes #13386
