Other people have reported this.  (Un)fortunately, I don't experience the
problem here.

Same as me.  Though I have accumulated numerous patches beyond pp2 (nothing
specifically browser related though).

I use Netscape 4.01a on 95.  You might consider upgrading to this latest &
greatest version (or maybe just download a demo to test against Apache/iX).

Same as me.  ;-)  Note: Apache 1.2.2 will probably be coming "soon".

Is anything weird showing up in logs/access or logs/error on the server?

Do a "View Source" in your browser after it stalls.  Do you see the "</html>"
or whatever really is at the very end of the document file when viewed on the
server?  I.e. is the server sending you every byte of the document, and we're
just having a TCP socket close problem?

Is there a proxy or firewall in between your browser and the server?
