I've seen this problem with Comanche in general, when using IE on OSX
with Squeak also running on OSX.  It doesn't seem to happen with any other
combination (in fact, I'm curious if it even happens with CocoaSqueak).

Anyway, as far as the stupid masses go, the simple answer is to deploy on
Linux, and the problem will go away.

But I would also be interested to know a solution if one's out there.  I
suspect it's some deep, dark OpenTransport issue...
