 Sometime between 2/18/2011 and 2/21/2011, all of my MSN contacts were
 added to the Pidgin block list.  I could see them online in my buddy list,
 with the "blocked" icon.

 I unblocked all the contacts I currently see online, before realizing that
 I should leave some blocked for debugging purposes.  Unblocking seems to
 work fine.  If I "show when offline", the offline contacts are still
 showing up as blocked.

 I logged into live.com from my web browser, and the web-based messenger
 doesn't have any indication of any of my offline contacts being blocked.
 I'm not sure if the web messenger has any indication of blocked buddies,
 though.  After logging out from the web interface and logging in with
 Pidgin again, the blocked users are still blocked.

 I just realized that the blocked users are all in the same group ("MSN").
 I have a few MSN users in other groups, and I *think* they were not
 blocked.

 I've started the debug window, but of course this is after the problem
 happened.  I guess I'll catch it if it happens again soon, but I'm not
 holding my breath.  Anyway, I'm just filing this ticket in case others
 have also had this problem.

 Thanks,

 Neal
