[rt-users] file: URL in Children field causes 'Can't call method"Id"' error in Display page

[Worsley, John]

Thanks!  Will that fix work for 3.4.1?  
I intend to upgrade but it will be a while since the new version will be going on a Solaris box.

This problem still occurs in 3.6.1 with non local URLs of any type. If
you copy share/html/Ticket/Elements/ShowMembers to
local/html/Ticket/Elements/ and apply the following patch, you should
be OK. I'm not sure whether this is the best way to do it, but it
works for us here.
