Crash on news (referencing JScript)

[KDSandal]

With EQ2Map 1.2.3 Auto-updater, using a debugger, the error

Microsoft JScript runtime error: '_gat' is undefined

happens in updatesnews.html. The code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-1459431-32");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

I could not find any definition for the variable _gat.

Windows Vista Ultimate (UAC on or off does not have an impact).
I can continue past it (gotta love debuggers!).

Just get rid of the analytics? Or is there something I am missing? And yes, I did do a reinstall. And clear cache. And reboot. And manually rip, kill, and maim it all. And no, my router does not current forbid the analytics (but it will).
