When you click on the Install PSM button on this page, the browser goes into a mode where it uses all my machine's CPU and just hangs. I have to shut down. This bug is very consistent. The last working version I tried was 2000100909, where things worked as expected.

I can't reproduce this on a trunk CVS build from today; PSM installs fine off the mentioned web page (and even seems to work). No hangs, no particular oddities except that the PSM information page (from clicking on the padlock) took a while to come up the first time.
I've been noticing this with PSM, Chameleon, and Aphrodite installs. Logged in as a user - some builds it works excellent, some it doesn't - but as root I get them to install every time, could be a permissions issue. linux 2000103008.
someone mentioned this could be a permissions problem. I tried the latest build (11/02 nightly i686) as root and it crashes with the following error messages: JavaScript error: http://docs.iplanet.com/scripts/header.js line 141: section is not defined Error was suppressed by event handler Document http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/psm-mozilla/index.html loaded successfully JavaScript error: http://docs.iplanet.com/docs/manuals/psm/psm-mozilla/index.html line 76: Error was suppressed by event handler
Reporter are you still seeing this in the latest builds?
Yes, I am still seeing it as of build 2000101814. Same symptoms.
As of latest build 200112208, the problem is fixed! Thank you.
Marking WORKSFORME as per reporters comments.
