ok, this problem also occurs in
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2b) Gecko/20021003

actual results: navigator window focusses but does not load anything.

i was thinking of bug 172716, but i was wrong since it does occur in older
builds. the key is that it only occurs if a navigator window is already present.

If you type x-jsd:help in the urlbar, the help page loads fine, but none of the
links work.

The code in venkman that tries to show the help page is

openTopWin ("x-jsd:help", "venkman-help");

if you type this into the Interactive Session in venkman, but replace x-jsd:help
with a http: url, the page loads fine.
