Using the nightlies is risky business. You do *NOT* want to be the first on
your block to run one because from time to time (thankfully not very often)
serious data-eating bugs do appear.
If you are downloading nightly builds, at least read the daily tree status
in the n.p.m.builds group for the "smoketest" blockers first. They are
usually all very serious. There are also build quality pointers available at
the top of http://www.mozillazine.org
