Hi Kent It's the same in both cases. They point to the router.
I tried some other browsers. Firefox, mozilla and epiphany all have the same problem. Konqueror doesn't. So it is both kernel dependent AND browser dependent (I think firefox and moz are pretty much the same beast underneath, so I'm not surprised that they both do it. No idea about epiphany.) Other than the other link I posted, I found a few other reports of this bug. Most people had it intermittently though. There was even a bug entered on mozilla once - then they found out that opera did it too, and closed it. I also noticed that a few of the other people having this were also on Athlon platforms, like me ... might or might not be coincidence. My best guess is that this is some interaction between low level code in some browsers and the library code for 2.6. But it would take somebody expert in how that part of the code works to get to the bottom of it. Not sure whether at this stage to consider raising a bug report against 2.6 To me it's clear that there is a defect somewhere - but whether it's the kernel or the browser(s) or both is anyone's guess.
