   Thanks to all those who tried to help by trying to loading this page!    
   Although the problem has not been identified (or solved), a workaround   
   has been found.   
      
   I suspect that the problem due to is some combination of javascript, a   
   non-Windows platform, a dial-up connection, a slow processor and/or    
   insufficient RAM. Perhaps unusual errors are occurring because of the    
   slowness of my connection and/or processor which are not being handled   
   properly on a less-well-tested non-Windows, non-IE code path.   
      
   I know very little about javascript. Can it get stuck in a loop? Can    
   it be affected by operations taking too long?
