I get operation timeout dialog box only (in Novell Linux Desktop).

Using:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041026
Firefox/1.0RC1

I get this exact same alert, but not relegated to a search engine site.  Any
time that I try to pass the phrase "cmd.exe" through the quertystring, I get
this alert.

I also noticed that it only happens on non-HTTPS connections as well, and
resultant alert message is near instantaneous.

To duplicate, append a querystring value of "?test=cmd.exe" onto any non-HTTPS URL.

This might be intentional behavior.

I am getting this error a lot, in paticular when I am submitting posts through
HTTP on message boards or other entities where you submit data, I also get this
same error frequently. I am running Windows XP Home SP2, Firefox 1.0 (latest
build) on frontiernet.net DSL (400KB/s). If anyone could fix this it would be
very appriciated because its very irritating for me when I am trying to post
messages on forums. Thank you.
