  I missed the original problem description, but I ran into one very
like what you describe last year.

  This was with a template->post->redirect->template->post->redirect
sequence.  It turned out that in a redirect or post action URL which
was constructed via HTML::Template variable substitution, a line feed
was getting into the variable value fed in on the second page's
template, and thus into the URL used when you posted from there.  That
broke IE and Safari, but worked with FireFox/Netscape/Mozilla.  If this
is the problem, viewing HTML source when at the second template page
will show it up.

  "My own personal theory is that this is the very dawn of the world.
We're hardly more than an eyeblink away from the fall of Troy, and
scarcely an interglaciation removed from the Altamira cave painters. We
live in extremely interesting ancient times.
  I like this idea. It encourages us to be earnest and ingenious and
brave, as befits ancestral peoples; but keeps us from deciding that
because we don't know all the answers, they must be unknowable and thus
unprofitable to pursue."  -- Teresa Nielsen Hayden, 1995
