i have been using chat on a CGI-based server 24/7 with several other users for the past 2 or 3 weeks, always running the latest trunk, and have had no problems with it. You'll need to provide us more information about your setup in order to reproduce it.

My vague suspicion is that your browser is configured to not send referral headers with ajax requests, which will break all of the ajax-centric apps. We require referral headers for implementing CSRP protections. You can quickly confirm this by trying out the /wikiedit and /fileedit pages. They won't be able to submit changes if those headers are disabled.

Correction: CSRF, not CSRP. See for more details.
