@HerrBert I had to remove it! I logged in as a test user I use for these occasions and selected the (Du) version and I had the blank page. I was able to use a different browser (Opera) and I could load the page to get to the admin to switch it back.
Now I am thinking of enabling it again and trying with a different browser. I also think something with the session cookie is involved with causing it not to work. If you are willing to test it again I could always reset again!!
Let me know so I can enable it for the test. 
but if we ever meet RL, i would like to say Du
