Fail to accept friend requests

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Receive a friend request
2. Try to accept it
3. repeat steps 1-2 a few times

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
User should be able to see the bot online and send messages to it, but they
can't.  After accepting friend, sometimes messages do show up as offline
message even while the bot is online.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.5.3 Windows

Please provide any additional information below.
I am running a bot, all i want to do is accept messages and reply saying
"got it".  also want to accept friend requests so they can see the bot
online, but preferably not add them to my list since there would be thousands.

here's a snippet of code where i accept the request, perhaps it is a
problem here:

        void Nameserver_ReverseAdded(object sender, ContactEventArgs e)
        {
            if (InvokeRequired)
            {
                Invoke(new
EventHandler<ContactEventArgs>(Nameserver_ReverseAdded), sender, e);
                return;
            }
            Contact contact = e.Contact;
            if (contact.OnAllowedList)
            {
                contact.OnPendingList = false;
            }
            else
            {
                ShowEvent("friend request: " + contact.Mail, true);
                contact.OnAllowedList = true;
            }
            return;

//contact.NSMessageHandler.ContactService.AddNewContact(contact.Mail);
        }

Here's the more detailed problem:  when i get a friend request, they appear
on my pending list.  when i accept it, they remain on my pending list. 
why?  when do i know it's safe to remove them from the pending list? 
sometimes just by saying "OnAllowedList = true", doesn't make it true. 
they might not be, so i can't assume it's safe to remove them from the
pending list.  So I made it when i get a reverseadded, and they are on my
allowed list, i remove them from pending.  this is very confusing and seems
to be a problem with the protocol, not necessarily msnpsharp.   it there a
code example of how to make this reliable?
