Scott, it's not as if bugzilla is some fancy DHTML site, like the Logitech site you mentioned. [*]
In fact Ken's workaround of changing the Safari Useragent implies that bugzilla is too smart for it's own good and trying to send browser-specific content, instead of simply being standards-compliant.
[*] For fancy DHTML sites, my ultimate test is my citibank online banking site. It's a hellish set of DHTML, forms, and javascript that was written only with IE in mind. Safari 1.1.1 handles it perfectly.
IMO, it's a great browser but it's not as complete or forgiving of the wide variety of code that veteran browsers understand.

I think bugzilla is stupidly written. It's just a bunch of HTML forms and CGI scripts. This is not rocket science. There is *no excuse* for it to break with a browser that is quite standards compliant (Safari) and widely used.
Runrev: not many people run Mozilla and bugzilla has got problems with browsers other than Mozilla. I suggested before: may as well put on the opening page "Mozilla/Netscape/Firebird is required"
