Is there a fix yet for the IE6 crash issue caused by KB924615? It appears
that the patch is automatically included in the SP3 RC, and cannot be
removed. Any idea whether a fix for the KB924615 URLMON.dll issue will be
published by the time SP3 is final-released, or will we have to forego
installation of the service pack? Upgrading to IE7 is currently not an
option.

Alternatively, is there a workaround for the patch that actually works,
other than uninstalling it? We need something that could be quickly
implemented, and distributed centrally to hundreds of machines.

I've seen this patch pop up on numerous other forums, so much so that it
made the tech headlines on Google news and PC World, so I know we're not the
only ones who have seen the issue...

Thank you!
