Yahoo protocol failing in CVS

I'm getting crashes on startup with CVS HEAD when it tries to log me in
to yahoo.

GDB output is below.  I've tracked the issue back through 'id' being
NULL to what I believe is the root cause.

Starting from a fresh configuration, MSN works but Y! doesn't.  
They're the two protocols I use with Gaim.  It also fails starting
with a clean .gaim directory and setting up the Yahoo account, so
I know it's not left over cruft from old Gaim versions.

I believe the root cause of this problem is that accounts are loaded
before plugins, and hence there is no list of statuses available for
Yahoo.  When it tries to get the status for 'online', a NULL is 
returned, and this NULL is then used in the strcmp below.

This is the first time I've reported any issues with Gaim (I'm playing 
with CVS because I've written a patch to maintain formatting between
messages within a single conversation, and I want to submit it against
a working CVS!) so please let me know if I'm going about it the wrong
way.

Regards,

Bron.
