Gmail broke for me yesterday night.  Previous to that throughout the
last week I would get the occasional error as the OP displayed.

I'm using Dapper, firefox 1.5.  It worked fine, but now it stops on
the "Loading..." page after I login.  I'm forced to disable script and
use the oogly basic HTML version for now.

Thankfully it's still only beta! ;)
