I'm quite sure you're right. miniserv.pl probably isn't timing out the
SSL connections from those browsers as it should be. Though the
browsers are broken on other sites as well--some other SSL servers will
also hold open connections to these browsers for longer than the
connection is active, and the browser will spawn multiple security
processes (I've actually brought my desktop machine down with NS6 and a
secure banking site). I'll look into it, if Jamie hasn't already fixed it.
