Issue 3281:  On Windows, Safari 3.1.2 and Chrome 0.2.149.30 both use the  
same user-agent string
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=3281

New issue report by [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
Product Version      : 0.2.149.30
URLs (if applicable) :
http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/websoilsurvey.aspx
Other browsers tested:
   Add OK or FAIL after other browsers where you have tested this issue:
      Safari 3: FAIL
     Firefox 3: OK
          IE 7: OK

What steps will reproduce the problem?
The URL is relevant only because that particular URL sticks the user-agent
string in an HTML comment in the page source.
1. Install Safari 3.1.2 on a Windows system.
2. Install Chrome 0.2.149.30 on the same system. I did it in this order,
but I don't know whether that matters.
3. Both Safari and Chrome use the same user-agent string. I have seen both
the Safari user-agent string and the Chrome user-agent string used by both
browsers. I think after a reboot, the first of the two browsers to come up
defines the user-agent string used by both.

What is the expected result?
I expect Safari to have:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.19 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.21
and Chrome to have:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML,
like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.30 Safari/525.13

What happens instead?
They both have the same user-agent string. Which one they both have seems
to depend on which browser came up first after reboot, but I'm not sure of
that.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.
Our application does do some browser detection, and this causes it to
confound Safari and Chrome. Fortunately, it doesn't have to do anything
differently on those two browsers, so it has only the subtle effect of the
wrong user-agent string showing up in the HTML comment.
