Summary: Giant popup windows

Initial Comment:
I am using Privoxy 3.0.0 under Slackware 8.1 
Linux kernel 2.4.19

The problem occurs both under Mozilla & Netscape 6.
I'm not sure whether it can be described as a bug.
It occurs only very occasionally when I connect to
certain sites. But it is very annoying.

What happens is that when I connect to these sites
there is a popup which Privoxy doesn't immeditely suppress,
although it captures the popup window with the BLOCKED
message. The real problem is that the window expands
well beyond the limits of the screen and I am unable
to resize it, and have to kill the browser.
One such site where I have this problem is
www.sharepoint.boo.pl

Hope someone can help.

PS I appreciate Privoxy VERY MUCH.
The ads are getting worse and worse
and Privoxy keeps me sane :-)

That crud is coming from a page they open to 
www.popupad.net/ats/switch.php

Block access to the 
domain popupad.*
