This might be the long-standing "bool" problem that we've never fixed.
I don't know exactly what the problem is, but I do know it occurs in
"instanceof"; I've been unable to make a smaller failing case.
Perhaps it is a bug in instanceof, but I've been unable to find it.

It works for me. Can you be more specific about what doesn't work?
My first guess is that you have cookies turned off. The bug tracking
system relies on cookies. In fact, I thought Jason added text
explaining this to the login page.
