This also happens with 1.2.1, but it occured the first time today - yesterday,
everything was fine.

Google works fine for me with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.3) Gecko/20030308

I had no problems the whole weekend.

It now appears to be a problem on Google's side. I will say, however, that when
the problem was occuring that it did not appear with IE 6. I've just sat here
with both browsers side-by-side and hit the refresh button mulitiple times, as
well as restarting fresh instances, the there is no problem accessing Google
with either browser.

Mark this as invalid and move on.
