and you'll see that in the second document, the body is positioned using
position:absolute, and the normal main scrollbar(s) appear(s), allowing you to
view the entire document, and scroll using either the mouse or keyboard, (page
up/down, and left/right arrows).

But in the first URL, the body is positioned using position:fixed, along with
overflow:auto to enable scrollbars. However, these can not be manipulated with
the keyboard, even if the focus is set to the area defined by <body> manually.
Oops; forgot to mention the build#: 2002091808 on Win/XP
the URL is gone, but judging by the descrption: dup of bug 97283
