From the stacktrace it seems that HttpUnit has problems executing some JavaScript on your page.

For validation, you can try to write an HttpUnit test directly.

I get this stack trace when I run almost any test step that demands a new response. Invoking pages directly does not seem to produce the same problem. My build is #427. Does anyone out there have some insight into this issue?
