have more to do with the many add-ons most people use.  I seldom have more
than three and have rarely had any issues other than with sites using
microsoft specific extensions.  Interestingly enough, today's email had a
reference to:
     http://www.linux-mag.com/cache/7307/1.html
which seems to confirm that theory.  I do not mean that other suggestions
are wrong, just that one might suspect add-ons first as a source for
wierdnesses.
