Data to reproduce it. So far, all the data provided in the bug report  
does not cause the symptoms for me.

I'll reopen the bug, but that won't help unless/until a developer can  
reproduce the error. Personally, I don't have free time to spend hours  
tracking down a bug I can't reproduce when there are other  
issues/features to work on that I *can* make a difference on.

I don't think the host server is relevant, but I have test installs  
running on 2 different versions of Ubuntu as well as OS X. Various  
clients running on OS X, Windows, and a variety of mobile platforms.
