No puede añadir al usuario = Can not add user
Error desconocido = Unknown error

I've the same error message in Windows Vista Home Premium SP2, Pidgin portable 2.10.7 (libpurple 2.10.7) with Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS, also with yahoo.com, with the same text shown ("No puede añadir al usuario

Error desconocido (204): <ml><d n="yahoo.com.ar"><c n="amigosdelojo" l="3" t="32" /></d></ml>"), except with the personal info ("amigosdelojo"). It shows a different user, friend of mine. The message appears occasionaly. The matter is that Pidgin shows ONLY ONE OR TWO contacts, while Messenger in http://mail.yahoo.com shows 3 more friends connected.

I haven't see this in Ubuntu (Precise). Will check and report.

Reported since ancient times in pidgin.im: https://developer.pidgin.im/ticket/8988. In it, davidmarshall15 (comment 25) says "I have experienced it on Windows and Linux" 12 months ago. First report 4 years ago, last report 12 /days/ ago. Pretty long time...
