iChat not letting me add new people

iChat has recently started not letting me add new buddies. It comes back with an error:

AIM Error
Could not add <buddyname> to your buddy list. (Feedbag error 10)

I'm able to add people through opening up the AIM program, but not directly through iChat. I tried re-installing it, but it didn't make any difference. Please help!
 
Have you tried searching Apple's discussion forums or knowledge base for that error message?

That's where I'd start.
 
Okay, I looked on there. Lots of people seem to have had problems with Feedbag error 17 - which is where you can't add new buddies if you have 150 buddies. But I only have about 20 buddies, and besides I'm getting Feedbag error 10, and I can't find info about that anywhere.

What should I do?

I am not sure if this is right, but it sounds like it.

Yes, that always works when I need to reset Mail, so it should work for iChat.

Wow! Your that desparate? Why don't you head over to Apple.com's forums and ask them. There is always something over there that MacRumors members doesn't know (and vise-versa).
