Honestly, this does not seem to be the problem.  Observe:

	http://blank.org/memory/work/yahoo.jpg

What we have there is:

	On the left: Nitro, logged into jabber.feedroom.com.  I am
	logged into the Yahoo Transport with the Y! account 'memoryphd'

	On the right: Yahoo Messenger for OSX, which I am logged 
	into with the Y! account 'cecil_b_demental'.

Each account sees the other as being offline.  Re-subscribing to the
presence of cecil_b_demental at yahoo.feedroom.com on the jabber side
does not change this, nor does deleting and re-adding the 'memoryphd'
contact from within Y!M.

Here's the transport log from adding 'cecil_b_demental at yahoo.feedroom.com' 
to my roster:

Here, in contrast, is the transport server log from when I try to re-add
'memoryphd' to the friends list of 'cecil_b_demental' from within the
official Y!M client:

Fri Apr 23 12:33:51 2004  jabberd.c:255 main load check of 1.00 with 13 total threads
Fri Apr 23 12:34:51 2004  jabberd.c:255 main load check of 1.00 with 13 total threads

...ie: a big fat nothing.  Yahoo just doesn't believe that the
'memoryphd' account is actually logged on.

Is there any additional debugging information that I can provide here?
