the build installs and goes to splash screen but soon after fails to launch with
the following error:


I back tested linux:  This did not happen with Fridays 2003-01-03-05-trunk

been broken all weekend.

this seems to be a commercial build problem only. we should do smoketests on the
mozilla builds while we track this down.

[(not reading, please use [e-mail] instead)]

it might be the landing (on friday?) that changed
chrome:localeVersion="1.2" -> chrome:localeVersion="1.3b" 
in just the mozilla tree.  (ns has not changed.)

I'll look into it.

confirming with windows commercial builds that this happened sometime between
2003-01-03-08-trunk and 2003-01-04-04-trunk   

note: The Activation screen popped up between the two error message windows
originally mentioned here when I tested the 01/04 build.

Looks like you've already isolated it, but in testing on Linux, the 1/3 8am
trunk build was ok, but the 1/3 9pm build had the parsing error. So something
that checked in before the 9pm build seems to have caused it. Hope this helps.
