Adding jenm, esther and tpringle.

marking as nsbeta1 and ncCatfood.

esther - we see this one, when AB gets corrupted and no longer accepts changes
or adds to your collected AB.

Jaime, we can not reproduce this with current builds on any platform.  When you 
logged this bug, we had some address book problems mostly with the collected 
address book getting corrupted.  Also when users were using the same profile 
with Netscape 6 and Jan builds.  There have been fixes to the address books.  I 
tried this and bug 65654 on all 3 platforms with the 5-31 build and the 6-4 
branch builds.  I don't see this or the collected abook problem.  

Are you still seeing this with recent builds with your Personal Address book? If 
so, is this the same Personal Address book you reported the problem with on Jan 
16?  If so, we will see what we can do repair your address book so you can use 
it with our recent builds to verify you can add and delete names again.

Yes, but Chris Hofmann has a corrupted book, we need to find out how long ago
his book became corrupted to see if we have a newer case.  Chris isn't sure when
his book stopped collecting.  I'll have to check into his time frame to see.

We have reports by others that their Collected Address Book is no longer  
working but with all these reports the user states it hasn't been working for a 
while.  We haven't been able to see this with newly created Collected books 
yet.  We have not had other reports of the Personal Address Book not working.  
Since the scenarios and results are the same as bug 65654, I'm going to mark 
this a dup of that bug and keep that bug open for more investigation.  Resolving 
as dup.
