This version can hang if you set break on all errors. I've found and
fixed that problem, new release Monday.

Yes, I forgot to push one button. I pushed it and hope now it will show up.
I think for them most part this version is fine. The bug I planned to
solve today turns out to be rarer and harder to solve than I thought.
Read on if you like details, otherwise just get 1.6a10.
The 1.6a10 version has the following bug:
1) Set Break On All Errors
2) Exit
3) when you hit the platform error
this.docShell is null in chrome://browser/content/browser.xul
4) press "Skip"
5) Exit
6) Restart
You will have 6 or 7 breakpoints on the line where this.docShell fails.
The bug is that Chromebug's heuristic for knowing when a XUL file has
been compiled is wrong and that heuristic reports the compile 6 times. I
don't know how to fix that directly so I have to find another hack to
prevent the multiple breakpoints. But when I put that hack in, Firefox
goes in to a loop after step 4 in some nanojit related code. So I'll
have to look into all of this another day.
