So does this mean the problem has gone away?

Yes, it would be nice.  Perhaps the 'perfect browser' could offer that
as a feature. :)


It's handy to have a document called 'logout' in the root folder with
the following DTML:

<!--#raise Unauthorized-->

This will allow you to log in as another user, it's still a bit of a
kludge because it tries to access logout again (which raises another
unauthorized) so you have to first hit cancel, and then try for another
page manually.  A few seconds faster than closing the browser and
starting new one.
