And what do you know - today I'm seeing the problem again. There's
a window open on Slashdot as I type this - it's been open a while
now; no action, no timeout either. The throbber is still throbbing.

I'll have to raise a bug report. I just wish I could in some way
be more specific. Still, a site that does it fairly consistently
is a good start.
