Steps to reproduce problem:
1. Open the browser
2. Open ircs://irc.mozilla.org:6697/
3. Wait for the Unknown Authority dialog to appear
4. Click the browser's offline icon

Actual result: hang, because the socket transport service proxied the dialog onto the UI thread which is waiting for the socket transport service to die.

neil, do you still see this?  (my setup isn't testing well - perhaps I need a new profile)

We use error pages now and those don't trigger the bug but I think we still use dialogs in some cases.

will call this wfm, and 101406 can take care of the un-enumerated cases
