This was just reported to me a few days ago.

Attached is a patch that may fix it.  Please apply it to 0.30 and let me
know the results.  Warnings may appear in the log file.  If you can,
please send them to me, it will help debug the problem.  (I don't use
any MS stuff...)

The guy that reported it sent me some debug logs.  At this point it
looks like IE is making a request and then very quickly closing the
connection, which isn't nice.
