Error with contact finder

[srmalloy]

I used the "Find Contact" button on my level-17 Elec/Elec Dominator to sift through available unknown contacts,  selecting Jim Temblor. When I clicked the 'Teleport to Contact' button, nothing happened, and when I tried to click the "Find Contact" button, I got the error message "An error has occurred with the Contact Finder. No contacts could be found for your level, alignment, and universe." Repeated attempts produced the same error.

 

The first basic 'kick the problem' fix -- zoning from AP to Skyway -- cleared up the problem, so there is a trivial workaround, but this is the first time I've seen the error. My character had seven missions at the time; it didn't affect things when I tried after zoning, but it is possible that it contributed to the initial error.

Happened to me in game today, 25 Electric/Shield stalker on Excelsior, I zoned into Night Ward from my base, go the badge at the mansion door and walked out and clicked the Find Contact button and got that message ("An error has occurred with the Contact Finder.  No contacts could be found for your level, alignment, and universe."), so I clicked it again and got it again, then I zoned to Talos from the TUNNEL and it went away.  Bugged in game via /petition.
