Details

When I followed "Webtools" link on http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi I was getting: Server Error This server has encountered an internal error which prevents it from fulfilling your request. The most likely cause is a misconfiguration. Please ask the administrator to look for messages in the server's error log. "Mozilla" and "NGLayout" links were producing the same result. It turned out my .netscape/cookies file (I was using Netscape Communicator 4.06) contained the following lines: cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 1877471976 Bugzilla_login ayn2@cornell.edu cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 930700792 PLATFORM Bugzilla cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 930700792 VERSION-Bugzilla 1.0 cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 1877471976 Bugzilla_logincookie xxx After I stopped Netscape, removed those lines and restarted Netscape, everything started working fine and now I only have cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 1877471966 Bugzilla_login ayn2@cornell.edu cvs-mirror.mozilla.org FALSE / FALSE 1877471967 Bugzilla_logincookie xxx in the cookies file. I believe the problems were cause by the PLATFORM and/or VERSION_Bugzilla cookies generted by some of the previous versions of Bugzilla.
Setting all current Open Critical and Major to M3
Clearing "M" field since Webtools product is not used for 5.0 specific project bug metrics and will mess up our queries on milestones.
Reassigning to dmose@mozilla.org, who now has front-line responsibility for all Bonsai and Bugzilla bugs.
Reassigning back to me. That stuff about me no longer being the front-line person responsible for Bugzilla and Bonsai turned out to be short-lived. Please pardon our confusion, and I'm very sorry about the spam.

This bug seems sufficiently obscure and hard-to-reproduce that I won't even try.
Verified that Terry is lazy, so sue him, it's in a programmer's job description!

moving all closed Bugzilla bugs to the new Bugzilla product. This batch is DUPLICATE/INVALID/WORKSFORME/WONTFIX reassigning to default owner and QA in case of the bug being reopened. Clearing milestones, since we really shouldn't have them on these types of resolutions. Sorry for the spam everyone...
