Garry,

I committed code to handle this situation more gracefully in 1.2.3 and  
trunk:  http://svn.open-ils.org/trac/ILS/changeset/10366

It would be safe/trivial to merge this change into your installed system  
at /openils/var/circ/circ_lib.js.

It sill sounds, however, like the user being checked is not in a valid  
group.  Can you make sure there is no small descrepency between group  
names?  For example "Patron" vs. "Patrons"?
