Bug Description
Binary package hint: pidgin-mbpurple
I:
1. Installed pidgin-mbpurple
2. Added a new account w/password
3. Tried to connect
4. Got a connection error, network sniffing revealed that the Twitter API didn't like my user/password
I then hit "Reconnect" in pidgin-mbpurple, it then proceeded to continually try to authenticate itself over and over again to the twitter API which resulted in my temporary ban from the service.
If the program gets a valid and complete message from the API saying it didn't supply the right credentials it should *stop trying*.
