Details

Problem:
Yahoo pop up ads often served blank, without ad content.

To replicate:
Go to http://movies.yahoo.com  or http://weather.yahoo.com 

(Note: They do not serve the ads after a certain amount of accesses...not sure
if within a session or a time period, so you'd need to clear the cookies...I
think, if you need to replicate multiple times in a short time period.)

Result:
The pop up window is supposed to have ad content.
1) The status bar says "connecting to rd.yahoo.com" yet the page never loads
2) The popup is blank but source has

<html><body></body></html>

Replicatability:
80% of the time.
This occurs no matter what my connection speed, using Gecko/20011019. 

Replicated on Win 2000 and Win 98.
Isn't this more of a feature?
How can I get other people to look at this?? I want to evangelize them but am
interested to hear any ideas of why this is happening.
should be a dupe of bug 98654
