The site provides a demo account - please contact me by IM at 
sngeorgaras at jabber.org if you think you should see it by yourself.

The above problem occurred in 3.5.9, don't know about 4.1, because the page 
was unavailable due to the encoding error (????? in URLs). 

On the other hand, this would be unavailable to the demo account, as it was 
the detail info of an actual payment.

I am currently using suse RPMs (stable repos), so if these fixes are 
backported to 4.1, I guess I could check them after updating
