[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Bug Wrangler's Report

[Mike Rylander]

To help push this along (thanks, Jason!) I'm running through these to
attack as best I can in the next few hours in prep for cutting
releases today.  Below is what I've done so far (not a ton), and I'll
re-reply as I get further.

Tossed this one at Jason Etheridge to look at. Hopefully a simple
UI-level change to keep the string "undefined" from being applied --
we want a (JS) null here.

Addressing this now, with forward-port of the perms to come soon.

This is ready for 1.6.1.5.
