    When adding friends to your yahoo messenger you can click a link on their
    profile. and it will put it in the friends group. The problem is with all
    versions of yahoo messenger it cannot handle long group names. So if where
    to visit.

    This would cause your yahoo messenger to crash by cauing an illegal
    operation everytime you logon.
