Changing component to DOM Level 1, which is where I think it should be, instead
of HTML frames, which is what was accidentally set on my Bugzilla report
template.

Reassigning to Vidur.

The crash was actually in Range::setStartAfter with a null parameter. We now 
throw an exception - the DOM spec doesn't say which one we should throw for a 
null node (though the parameter should not be null), so for now I'm throwing 
NS_ERROR_DOM_NOT_OBJECT_ERR.

I'm not sure how QA can verify this bug. Can the reporter please mark as verified 
? Thanks.

Sorry.  It's a good reminder to me to be verifying all my fixed bugs.  This one
works as advertised.
