I just discovered this by accident. It manifests on two machines, so I assume it's a Panther bug. See if you can reproduce it...
1. Go to the login window. Make sure it's displaying a list of users.
2. Use the down arrow to select the bottom user in the list.
3. Put the tip of the cursor just below (1-3 pixels) the shaded area around the user.
4. Click.
You'll get an Internal Error dialog. It's not a problem, just dismiss it. But it looks like somebody forgot to check some array bounds.

Thanks. I guess I'll try forward this to Apple. By the way, it's not necessary to have the bottom user selected, but the shading does help to make sure you click on the right spot. It you click there without any selection, it still brings up the error.
