I modified a bug while Bugzilla was down.  Clicking "try again" took me to
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/process_bug.cgi, but it said "You apparently didn't
choose any bugs to modify."

I did not try to reproduce.

I seem to run into this problem very frequently when I play
kingdomofloathing.com.  I reproduce it every day.

biesi was thinking using location.reload() might work, but it seems to cause
other problems (and I'm still not sure it actually resend form POSTs).

Attachment: use location.reload()

this works for me. this patch includes the change from a link to a button for
"Try Again" (from bug 280190); I can undo that change if desired.

use location.reload()

Hmm...	location.reload works because we don't stick the error page URI in
session history, I assume?  Document that here?

And leave the <p> around the <input>, please.

r+sr=bzbarsky with that.
