TO REPRODUCE:
    * In Mozilla Navigator prefs, set `Navigator starts with: Home page'
    * In Mozilla Navigator prefs, set `Home Page: about:'
    * Exit Mozilla.
    * Start Mozilla (and open a Navigator window, if necessary).

WHAT HAPPENS:
    * The about: page is shown, but the location shows:
file:///C|/PROGRAM%20FILES/MOZILLA/SEAMONKEY/chrome/global/content/default/about
.html

WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN:
    The location bar should show: "about:"

BUILD:
    2000022016 Win32
This looks related to bug 23557, "about:blank is in the history because I open 
new windows as blank", M15

In that bug, a visible about: URL is not desired, while it is here, but the
partial hack described there is probably the cause of the file:/// URL seen
here.

On my Win2 build this is fixed in todays build...
Do everybody see this?
Checking with 2000-08-19-08-M18 on WinNT, only "about:blank" appears in the 
location bar. It looks like the fix for bug 23557 fixed this also; marking
