-> ben. I assume this is yours. I told you to back that stuff out. Now suffer 
the consequences! <insert evil laugh>
Assignee: blaker → ben
Looking at the code, I'm fairly certain the problem is just that ben removed the 
declaration of builder in history.js' OpenURL.  I don't know if Ben is around 
right now, it doesn't look like it, so let's not hold for this.

If someone can try readding that line, that would be good.  Ben's changes to 
history should be backed out anyway (except for the addition of the stylesheet).
Severity: blocker → critical
sheriff's note:
restored original severity to "blocker".

I'd like to see more resolution here before we downgrade this. After reading
blaker's last commment, we need to do one of three things:
1) try the one line fix, or otherwise fix it.
2) back out Ben's code
or 3) come up with a convincing argument as to why this isn't a blocker.
Severity: critical → blocker
I am home now and will try the one line fix.

However, backing out the history patch is the right thing to do anyway. I
advised doing that last night.  The main reason to hold the tree for a blocker
is to make sure that everyone is looking into it.  Given that we basically had a
fix, there was no reason to make everyone wait. That's why I downgraded it.
I've checked in a fix.
