You probably found some posts from me.  No, I never found a solution.  I do
know that the transaction would complete when I clicked on the Netscape
title bar.  Of course, that's not a solution but just a stopgap to prevent
losing your work.  I've captured the http messages going back and forth, and
still didn't find out what's happening.
