Description xhh2a 2008-05-04 01:14:32 UTC
I forgot to sign a comment I made, so I edited it and typed in the four tides, yada, yada,
click enter, found myself auto-logged out (which is rare, but not unprecedented), so I log back in, and edit it again, this time removing my IP and replacing it with the four tides again. 
Send me to a server error site with this:

Request: POST http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:BitTorrent_client&action=submit, from 208.80.152.33 via sq21.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE18) to 10.0.5.3 (10.0.5.3)
Error: ERR_ZERO_SIZE_OBJECT, errno [No Error] at Sun, 04 May 2008 01:00:27 GMT

Went back and tried again, removing the IP adress and replacing it with my username, same error.

Tried a third time, this time checking the minor edit box, worked.

Using:
Windows Xp SP2
Firefox 2.0.0.14
Noscript (latest) *wikipedia allowed*
AdBlock Plus (latest)

I tried again on the sandbox, but I couldn't reproduce it, so I think it has to do with the auto-log out after you edit the post logged in with the four tides, or it could be something else..if you need any more information, ask.
Comment 1 xhh2a 2008-05-04 01:19:07 UTC
This is my first (and probably only) bug report  so I'm not sure if I put it under the right section.....Sorry
Comment 2 Brion Vibber 2008-05-07 01:53:42 UTC
Sounds like:

a) Your session expired / fell out of cache (this happens sometimes)

b) There was an intermittent failure editing a page, which passed after a couple of attempts.

There wouldn't be any relationship between the use of signatures and these other problems; annoying as they are, they're nonspecific enough that I'm going to go ahead and mark this a WORKSFORME as far as the particular interaction.
