I got email from someone running .31 Tark on a Mac and he did not see this error.

I take it this is Tark .30?

I think this is a symptom of something I saw a few years ago with that specific instance.  The code where this issue occurred will have a null-check in the next revision.

This should be fixed in 0.31, a version that was just submitted for review.

closing as invalid, because this is fixed in 0.31 (and no Firefox bug), thanks Rollin !
