Python 2.0.1 bug?

[Steve Holden]

I saw a bug relating to CGIHTTPServer posted about anomalous behavior of IE
on Windows 2000, and noted that it also occurred on my Win98 system. POSTs
are even weirder: POST, POST, GET is the typical sequence of requests I see.
Appears to be a socket programming anomaly, I wonder if you could be hitting
the same thing?.
