Pageloads take time over a modem... usually that's not a goood thing, but this

time...

Tried to replicate as above, using same build (nightly binary) on NT.
After 30 seconds the html was loaded and laid out, looking normal
and completely useable, and the last of the graphics, etc. were loading,
when CRASH. This probably rules out html layout issues, and suggests
(given that this is CNN) problems with animated gifs or javascript.
