this works for me with a trunk build from this morning.  Reporter, please update
your tree and verify.

Well it doesn't work in build 2002011003

I didn't think that mozilla -jsconsole caused autoregistration.

are you using a Optimized build?  Where are you downloading these bits from, if
you are not building it yourself?

The -jsconsole is there to easily display the registration error message.

I'm using http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest/mozilla-win32.zip.
The error occurs whenever I unzip and start a new nightly.

Ugh.  

Do a clean install.  nsSample.js IS NOT PART of the build:


bash-2.05$ cd components
bash-2.05$ ls *.js
chatzilla-service.js
jsconsole-clhandler.js
nsDictionary.js
nsHelperAppDlg.js
nsLDAPPrefsService.js
nsProxyAutoConfig.js
nsSidebar.js
nsXmlRpcClient.js
smime-service.js
venkman-service.js

If you copy the CURRENT version of nsSample.js into the components directory, it
will work fine.
