Well, Thomas... you're dealing with "doctors" at MS, never forget.

  Another terms exists which is "workaround" to patch some problems
until they're fixed in an "official" way... as far as I know, it
didn't happend to any of my customers anymore since when I made them
and I did myself erase the darn temproary files in the IE's disk
cache.

  So... call it a solution or not, but it works as a workaround... and
considered MS doesn't pay me for the time I invest correcting their
troubles, I feel perfectly find with any WORKING workaround anybody
would give me to go ahead and don't have headaches doing my job.

  p.s.: despite that, I too am always interested knowing what caused
what... has anyone discovered the real cause of such "feature"? Was it
a server problem at MS's side for real? Or is there any "tech inside"
we SysAdmins should know and that MS didn't share (yet)? TIA w y'all
