I''ll have to decline this one, unless further information is available.  E.g., was this immediately after returning from Logout; was the browser in any unusual state when you clicked GetMail; and most importantly, what exactly was the stack?'
'
General comment':  BT! is much more helpful than BT.  And when you get a NON-NUMERIC ARG error, you can usually find a frame at the top of the stack that actually shows the numeric computation that caused the error, and perhaps report what the other arguments to it were.'
