REFTEST TEST-UNEXPECTED-FAIL | file:///home/cltbld/talos-slave/test/build/reftest/tests/layout/reftests/object/connection-refused.html | load failed: null

This message means in reftest.js, someone's calling "LoadFailed" and passing a null 'why'.
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/layout/tools/reftest/reftest.js?mark=1256-1257#1253

Hence, I'm filing this as a bug in the harness, since there's at least one harness bug here (the null 'why') and that's probably the first thing that needs fixing in order to get to the bottom of the load failure.

See also bug 651034, with the same failure message ("load failed: null") in a different test.
Note that this testcase has in the past failed with "timed out waiting for onload to fire", as noted in bug 571420. (though there haven't been new reports of that failure in 6 months)

I wonder if something broke to make that error now show up as "load failed: null" ?
