 This smells a bit like:
 
 http://issues.infrae.com/silva/issue351

 which I _thought_ has been solved long ago, but seemingly it did not :-/

 Does the IE have an option to degrade down to HTTP/1.0 instead of
HTTP/1.1 ? Dieter Maurer reported on the zope-dev list, that after a
HTTP-redirect with HTTP/1.1, Zope may finish the redirected request
before finishing the first request, thus sending the view of the
document before the deletion.

 I had a similar problem with some customized variant of Silva some
month ago, where going down to HTTP/1.0 worked around that issue
(happening with Mozilla, however).

 (I do not recomment to downgrade to HTTP/1.0 to fix the problem; I just
want to know if we both have the same symptoms ...)

Cheers,
Clemens
