The above is a diff/patch of the file that contained the error.

If I read it correctly the file is 
mailnews/addrbook/resources/content/addressbook.js and the error is on 
line 493. The - before the line indicates a deleted line and the + 
before a line indicates a new line. So basically, in order to fix the 
bug, the line was changed from:

addressbook.exportAddressBook(directory);

to:

addressbook.exportAddressBook(window, directory);

So you can either go and fix the file yourself and or use the patch 
program to fix it for you. Since it's just one file and one change I'd 
opt for doing it myself.

And luckily for you it looks like the bug was in a javascript file so 
probably no need to recompile I would think.
