Component:  pidgin (gtk)                 |    Version:  2.1.0

 Today I regrouped my buddies in pidgin and renamed one group to "online".
 This
 change wasn't a problem for ICQ6, ICQ5 and ICQ2003b buildB 3916 but ICQ
 2003a build
 3800 instantly crashed on start.

 This may be due to a function in ICQ 2003a that allows to group users in
 online and
 offline users. Perhaps it tries to create a pseudo group "online" but
 fails because
 it already exists.

 I know this is about an outdated ICQ version and not a real pidgin problem
 but I
 suggest to not allow groupnames like "online" and "offline" - according to
 a closed
 ticket you see no reason to name a group like this anyway.
