Description David Marple CLA 2008-06-16 15:08:15 EDT 
The implementation for parsing the history of a bug is not generic enough to work for all bugzilla sites.

In BugzillaTaskHistoryParser, in the method retrieveHistory, there is code which locates the table containing the list of changes:
if (token.getType() == Token.TAG) {
     HtmlTag tag = (HtmlTag) token.getValue();
     // Skip till find <br> - "there can be only one"
     if (tag.getTagType() == HtmlTag.Type.BR && !tag.isEndTag()) {
     
There is not always one <BR>, if any, present.  A generic implementation would be to replace that if statement with the following.

if (tag.getTagType() == HtmlTag.Type.TABLE && !tag.isEndTag()) {

(A good website to test this is http://buni.org/bugzilla)
