I checked http://versiontracker.com/macosx/ 2/09/05 at 6:20PST and was unable to
navigate the links in the central pane...those involving the listed apps or the
download links. This was true of versiontracker Mac OSX Mac OS and Windows
pages. The cursor fails to change when moused over the links. In other browsers
like Mozilla and Firefox cursor changed into hand and text color changed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to http://versiontracker.com/macosx/
2.double click on any appliction title or download link
3.

Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
cursor should have changed appearance, text should have changed color, link
should have been opened.

This appears only to occur in Camino....v. 0.82 and any of the nightlies tested
Seems independent of OS used  found problem in both 10.2.8 and 10.3.7

The time I noted these events was 1820 PST. If this is just poor coding of the
webpage why aren't other browsers affected?

I think I have egg on my face :) I traced the problem to a corrupt cookies.txt
file in my ~/Library/Application Support/Camino folder. Deleting that file cured
the problem. What confused me is that this event occurred simultaneously on two
different computers running two different versions of OS X and was not present
on any other browsers I had tested.
