The site stalls waiting for a JavaScript at http://secure-us.imrworldwide.com/v53.js to load.  After a minute or two, the URL is reported as having timed out in the activity window.  One or more of the servers hosting that URL appear to be unresponsive.  I was able to verify this using "curl http://secure-us.imrworldwide.com/v53.js" in the terminal.  After waiting a few minutes for the cached DNS entry for that host to expire, I could request the URL without problem via curl and the load succeeded in Safari as well.

I don't think there's anything here that is indicative of a WebKit bug.

I agree with Mark.  The URL loads fine for me now.  In the future, it's probably worth checking to see whether or not the page loads in another browser before filing a bug.
