I'm getting an assertion when I view source on a newsgroup message, in
nsNntpUrl::GetNewsgroupName:

(gdb) frame 1
#1  0x41420908 in nsNntpUrl::GetNewsgroupName (this=0xbdebba0, aNewsgroupName=
0xbffff448)
    at nsNntpUrl.cpp:385
385	    NS_ASSERTION(m_newsgroupName, "null ptr");
(gdb) list
380	
381	NS_IMETHODIMP nsNntpUrl::GetNewsgroupName(char ** aNewsgroupName)
382	{
383	    if (!aNewsgroupName) return NS_ERROR_NULL_POINTER;
384	
385	    NS_ASSERTION(m_newsgroupName, "null ptr");
386	    if (!m_newsgroupName) return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
387	
388	    *aNewsgroupName = PL_strdup(m_newsgroupName);
389	    if (!aNewsgroupName) {

I should add that I then get this:
JavaScript error:
 line 0: uncaught exception: [Exception... "Component does not have requested
interface"  code: "-2147467262" nsresult: "0x80004002 (NS_NOINTERFACE)"
location: "<unknown>"]

and then the view source window comes up fine.
