28177 - win: Cannot open Preferences dialog from Browser window

Reporter

** Observed with 2/16/2000 Win32 build: 2000021615 **

With the above build, I simply cannot open the Preferences
dialog window. When I choose the menu item from the Browser
window, the entire brower window becomes unresponsive and
I need to kill the application. 
I can open the Pref window from Mail and Composer
windows, however.

Somewhat similar bug is also observed in Address Book. 
I can't open the New Card creation dialog window either
via the New Card button or the menu "File | New | ...".

this isn't a problem for me using y'day morning's non-comm opt bits on winNT
[2000021608]. i'd doublecheck w/today's bits, but it's currently being installed
on my machine...very...slowly...

marking as wfm --do reopen if it's still a problem!

Okay this is me. I added an overlay file for preferences in the commercial
tree (AIM) but did not add it to the packager lists. Similar to
yesterday's freeze on startup overlay problem fixed by amusil.

I'm not sure why this freezes the browser though. The underlying infrastructure 
should just give a warning or something. 

This applies to the preferences. Not sure why address book hangs - it is likely 
to be similar, nmaybe someone checked in an overlay and forgot to add it to the 
packager. 

thanks,
Vishy

I fixed the prefs thing. Still see the address book - new card issue though. I 
am not sure if this has anything to do with AIM. I will try a mozilla build to 
verify that. Thanks, Vishy

 I was missing these also in the package. Added them.
On Linux, Alex will make sure the makefile exports all the requisite files.
