Comment:

 heh.  Comcast loses, misinterprets the user agent string, and you end up
 with a blank page (that is reloading, eating your machine entirely).

 Comcast is a major U.S. ISP; so this one is a real headache for G1G1
 folks.

 Note that this is the page you'd go to to log in to get your web mail....

 The question is if we should redo our browser string in some fashion....

 Or have a way to set it explicitly.

 As it is such an issue for G1G1, I'm putting it back to blocker....
