I cannot specify an easy method of reproducing it since it seems to have something to do with how some of the names in my address book were registered.

I am currently running the latest patch release for 3.5.9 and it still happens.

It is always the same three account names. Deleting the accounts in Kopete does not solve the problem since they are still registered with Yahoo.

Also, every couple of hours the process repeats. It seems that the connection resets periodically which causes my status to briefly disappear and once it reconnects the dialogs reappear.

Also of interest is that sometimes when this happens I get dialog boxes asking me to authorize a new user where the username is a truncated version of one of those three usernames.  I.e. if one of them is UsernameABCDE it will ask for authorization for UsernameABC or Use or some other variant of the name.

I also have a second independent Yahoo account and never see this behavior, but it is always repeatable in my setup with the first account.

I do not believe my firewall is periodically killing the connection either since it is a Linux box.
