It eventually took it for me..  The frustrating thing here (but possibly
why it eventually took it for me) is that every time I have to do
something that requires a user ID, I have to login.  So, I clicked the
link to view the bug, clicked login, (opened up my file of
username/password combos, verified my username and copied my pass to the
clipboard,) entered my info and logged in, entered the bug number in the
search box and clicked search, found the vote for this bug link and
clicked it, entered my login info AGAIN and clicked, got the vote summary
page and made the appropriate change, clicked submit, entered my login
info AGAIN and submitted, got the error, backed up, entered my login info
yet AGAIN!!! and submitted, THIS time it worked, displaying the vote
summary with the vote for the new bug shown.

The problem, I'm edu-guessing, is some interaction between my normally
no-cookies (Konqueror) browser option, tho I have it set to take them from
qa for bug reporting purposes,  privoxy, which I have set to change
cookies to session cookies, but that should only mean I have to log in
once each session, NOT once per action as it seems I have to do, and the
qa/bugzilla software/site.  I have the same problem with the gnome
bugzilla (which I use for reporting PAN bugs since I run its betas) as
well, and had it b4 I started using privoxy, so it would seem to be a
bugzilla/konqueror interaction problem.  Cookies work fine at other sites,
like my bank, for instance, supporting the bugzilla/konqueror interaction
theory.  It may be something to do with domain globalization issues re
the cookie, with Konqueror rejecting requests for it from the global
domain when it was the specific qa domain that set the cookie, or
requests from the specific domain when it was set by the global, or some
such, is my best guess.

Whatever.. it's definitely frustrating.. but I WAS eventually able to
vote on the bug, and others seem not to be able to, so perhaps it isn't
ALL bad..  <g>
