Reporter, did you install this build *over* an older one ?  Please don't. Make
sure that the installation will be done in a new directory. I normally have 3 or
4 different Mozilla installations on my hard disk, all inside 'Applications',
but each with a different name.

If this in't the case, you can you create a new profile (see the
'ProfileManager' inside the Mozilla folder), and see if the problem still
occurs. Sicne you also have a Netscape 4.79 (which you used to fill it this
report), it's also possible that your old profile was incorrectly converted from
your old Netscape profile. Try to create a fresh one.

Reporter: 
Please clear the disk cache (edit\preferences\Advanced\Cache)

Do you use a proxy ?

David, also, 1.1 is more than a month old now. Please retest using a recent
nightly build, and if you still encounter this problem, test using another
Mozilla user profile.

Reassigning to Networking: HTTP. (Accessibility APIs? What would this possibly
have to do with that?)

I can not reproduce this either.  Tested with moz 1.1 and newer versions on mac
os9.1.   Also tested with pipelining enabled/disabled.   Could you try the
suggestions offered by the other reporters and comment back here.
