Hi Jess-

The Histogram stuff has never really been tested that well, so I'm 
sure there are other bugs.  I fixed this one and it will be in the nightly
build.
 
> This is the error she received:

We weren't checking for single time images.  Now we do.  For now,
the workaround in the 2.6u2 release is to select the "All Images"
field for the histogram.
