For reference, it’s usually the fault of one particular comment—when this happens, finding any page with that comment will break the site. “Recent comments” works again when that comment falls off the first page.
I can’t tell, since I can’t see that particular comment. I’ve inferred that “number” by some boundary testing, inputting various URLs to see which ones worked and which breaked.
Is the recent comments page broken right now or is that just me?
Edit: Working again!
It’s been broken for me, too.
The problem may be associated with comments from a time period—recent comment is working for me now, but I can’t page back.

Yep. This time around the particular comment seems to be 1rvk in the numbering scheme used in URLs.
On what thread?

I see—playing with http:// lesswrong.com/comments?count=50&after=t1_[comment-ID] seems to suggest 1rvj may be responsible, as http://lesswrong.com/comments?count=50&after=t1_1rvj has 1rvi as the first visible. That said, http://lesswrong.com/comments?count=50&after=t1_1rxo works where http://lesswrong.com/comments?count=50&after=t1_1rxn fails, which suggests 1rw8 breaks the page, too.
Edit: At least on my viewer—other people may have their Recent Comments set to show fewer comments.
Not just you. It happens periodically.
Me too.
Me too, but it now appears to be working.
