"Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error when attempting view BugDetail.aspx

This is a peculiar issue and I'm not able to determine if it's b/c of the host provider. I'm getting the following error message when attempting to view BugDetail.aspx:

Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Stack Trace:

More specifically, it's only happening in a hosted environment where I'm attempting to run BugNET as an IIS Application in a subfolder (~/bugnet/) and the URL represents the BugNET app as a second child of the root URL, where the first child of the root URL is my account name (see below for examples):

www.hostproviderURL.com/myaccount/bugnet/ --> Fails

www.hostprovderURL.com/bugnet/ --> Succeeds

It's odd that the IIS Application config is the same (so the host provider claims) and the physical path is the same. Any thoughts?

Thanks.
