OK, I think the reason we've been losing buddy lists (which with SSI makes
it look like buddies are getting randomly moved) is that something is trying
to write the blist.xml file before it is read.  So we now check to make sure
we've read the file before we allow any writes to happen.  If anyone has any
"randomly moving" buddies after this, please let me know.
