| If it is what we're seeing, it only happens sometimes, and for some
| people,
| etc.  Seems to be due to compression.  I've solved any problems I've seen
| by turning off page compression for IE 6.

Should we turn compression off for all IE6 browsers?  I would hesitate to do
this (become this would eliminate compression for a large population of
users) - but I don't see much other choice.  Or do these buggy IEs output a
particular browser string that we can identify and isolate?  (As I've said
in the past, I have seen this on my computer at work but not at home.  I'll
take a look at the browser output the next time I'm at work).
