This is supposed to make us alert our buddies when we change our buddy
icon, or turn it off. Except it crashes when we turn it off. But I think
that's either Sean's fault or else Chip's fault.
Also its supposed to make us announce our buddy icon when we log on if
we have an old one set. But I don't think it does. Or was that the last
commit that was supposed to do taht? either way it doesn't work for some
reason, I need more packet dumps.
It does succeed in announing our buddy icon to everyone when we set one.
Well except people not on our list.
