 I got the following error message:

 Torbutton Exception in sandbox evaluation. Date hooks not applied:
 [Exception... "Component returned failure code: 0x8007000e

 This error occurred on a PowerPC Mac running OSX 10.4.11, Firefox 3.6.6,
 Tor 0.2.1.26, Torbutton 1.2.5

 The front page of the New York Times (www.nytimes.com) runs massive
 amounts of javascript, and I get so many warnings that they keep scrolling
 off the log faster than I can copy them. Errors are less frequent, and I
 found 5 when I checked:

 Comment: I'm not sure if this is really a problem in Torbutton, but I
 posted it to OR talk several months ago and Mike asked me to create
 tickets so it could be studied. The errors sometimes say they occur in
 Torbutton, sometimes in other subroutines, so it may be that the running
 script hits the timeout limit at random, and then reports an error in
 whatever routine the timeout occurs.
