Seems to have caused a furor in Apple forums: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1431695&tstart=0 Keith Lam, an ESPN website developer, says it's fixed -- BUT one has to restart the machine first (?!), not just the browser: http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=183551 The restart did fix the issue. Is this type of brokenness related to WebKit core?

I can confirm that the bug is fixed by the site developers. Worth to say the site also crashed Firefox. Per comment #4 marked as fixed an evangelism bug.
