thanks for the quick response.
This implies that the status bar refresh keeps running even if you have
gone to another web site. In my experiment, I first went to my imp page
and read e-mail. Then I went to /. and left the browser pointing there
overnight. I then reentered the URL for my imp page and it came up right
where I left off, e-mail readable and everything.
As an expansion on this experiment, I shut down all copies of the browser
running and went back to my imp page where I got the login prompt as
expected. I'll run the overnight test again with 2.2.4.
