I am able to replicate this same error message in Windows 7 x64 using
Pidgin 2.6.4.

I am trying to sign-in to a AIM account.  Figured I'd append it to this
ticket, it may be a AOL issue causing this error, and not a bug.

There will be a package update that forces this option... but only after
upstream decides what to do about this.

Similar problems in Empathy after update to libpurple-2.6.5-1 (Bug
554923 for AIM, possibly Bug 555297 for ICQ), but the noted workaround
cannot be applied.

I believe AOL have fixed their servers.
