I've now installed some firefox 3.5 in /opt and I managed to log-in into the 
build machine again. I'll fix this tonight. My suspicion is about some DLL 
incompatibilities with the xsltproc.exe that is in the path. Either the exe is 
the wrong one, or it picks up a DLL from the path that it shouldn't pick up. 
This needs to be checked with the dependency walker, depends.exe. I'm working 
on it.

Regards,

Christian
