A minor correction.

When I do this, the first time I point the browser (NetScape 7.1 on RH 
8.0) to localhost:8080, I get a dialog:

************
You have chosen to download a file of type: "Binary Executable" 
[application/octet-stream] from
http://localhost:8080/

What should Netscape do with this file?

O Open using an application
X Save this file to disk
************

Anyway, if I cancel, then Squeak hangs. If I say to Save this file to 
disk, it gives me a weird filename to save. The filename changes each 
time I try it-- just now it wanted to save "aut9pk86.exe". If I then 
click "Save", Netscape waits forever for data to come down the line to 
save. And whether I click "Save" or "Cancel", Squeak is hung-- I have to 
kill it and relaunch.

Anyway, I do think it is related to the same problem you reported.
