Latest nightly build of what?

I don't see this in a SeaMonkey Linux trunk build...

Comment 2

With: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041105
MultiZilla/1.6.4.0b

and previous builds (i try to follow the nightly builds when I can) I've been
seeing the same error message quite frequently.  Not sure what this is or what
it breaks.  I almost always see it when checking for other errors.

The JavaScript console points to line 92 of XPCNativeWrapper.js:

_doImportProperty:
    function(aPropName)
    {
      var nativeMethod = Components.lookupMethod(this.mUntrustedObject,
                                                 aPropName);
      var theGetter = function()
      {
        return nativeMethod.call(this.mUntrustedObject); <<-- line 94
      };
      var theSetter = function(val)
      {
        return nativeMethod.call(this.mUntrustedObject, val);
      };

      this.__defineGetter__(aPropName, theGetter);
      this.__defineSetter__(aPropName, theSetter);
    }
};

This was moved to native code, the error should be gone.

No specific bug / patch referenced as the fix.

The relevant bug is bug 281988.  So this really should have stayed RESOLVED FIXED.
