a update to ie6 was released today(?) that purports to fix the problem

ie6 crashing after the last ie6 update...

Do you need IE to be working to download it though ? :-}


That would be, "yes". heh

the problem solves an intermittent issue with ie that was the result of a
prior patch. i don't know of anyone that had ie completely stop working,
just that ie would randomly crash and yet work on the same site that it
failed on when tried again. this update appeared as an automatic update
that wasn't pushed out on 'patch tuesday'... so they seem to have
acknowledged their blunder by providing a patch for it relatively quickly.
not that you can really feel good about the fact that they produced a patch
that screwed up otherwise working products in the first place... i wonder
how many people ended up 'upgrading' to ie7 (their intention?) because of
this, and how many people just installed firefox.
