Kathy's taking this one.
this has all the symptoms of a problem parsing the XUL.
opening the plain text editor on windows in the debugger yeilds:

XULDocumentImpl::EndLoad()
{
  if (mParentContentSink == nsnull) {
      NS_PRECONDITION(mRootResource != nsnull, "no root resource"); <-- assert!

mRootResource is null, which usually happens because of malformed XUL.
The problem is that two of the entities were misnamed.  I have a fix in hand.
this was a bad xul file on my part.  two of the entities were not in the dtd.
This should be fixed in builds after 2:30pm 8/10/1999.
