[Bug 175016] Re: Periodic Never Ending Blank Page Generation

[Phil Welch]

This problem is one that requires me to shutdown all browser sessions
before being able to restart the browser without it immediately
beginning it's never ending blank page looping.  Although I still don't
know why this is happening I have made an effort to better understand
and sometimes anticipate it so that I can close critical page
processing, when possible, before the looping begins which at that point
leaves few options but to terminate all browser sessions.

To anticipate this behavior I start a never ending "top" session.  Then
when normal browser responsiveness stops, I pop over and watch top
statistics which generally run at less than 5% cpu utilization.  Then
when it cycles upwards very rapidly to anywhere between 40% and 100% cpu
utility, I know I have a problem.  If I'm quick, I can sometimes get to
browser windows that haven't begun cycling though the odds are against
me.

Something I hadn't noticed before is that the successful download window
opens and contains the file which was supposed to have been opened. such
as:  index.php, etc.

It is as though the browser thinks it should save the file rather than
open it.  It's not clear to me whether this behavior comes as a result
of the looping or whether it is somehow connected with the cause.
