the page is not empty with build 2003020204 on Win2k, however JavaScript console
shows the same error.

Well, the error is correct -- the function name is "luc" (since '.' is not
allowed in function names) and then the "." is not a whitespace char or a '(',
which leads to that error.

And the page renders just fine for me.... (linux trunk 2003-01-31-22).
