I get this error with Selenium Grid, when trying to do the demo like in http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/run_the_demo.html

The solution mentionned on http://selenium-grid.seleniumhq.org/faq.html doesn't help. Even after killing all firefox, deleting all customProfileDir's folders and rebooting, the demo gives four times the same error (each session blocking itself).

Selenium Grid 1.0.4, Windows XP SP2, Firefox 3.6

Tried RC (1.0.1) again, and got the same error on a test that worked yesterday. The only changes I see is that I tried Selenium Grid and messed with the customProfileDir's folders.

I finally remembered I already solved this yesterday for Selenium RC by applying http://www.qaautomation.net/?p=15
I also applied it on selenium-grid-1.0.4\vendor\selenium-server-1.0.1.jar, and Selenium Grid demo works smoothly.
