I reformatted my hard drive a few days ago, and decided to try Polipo 
again.  Exact same problem as quoted below.  My OS is Windows XP Tablet 
PC Edition, I used the Phobos Windows Installer, version 1.0.4.0.  
Uninstalling Polipo and then rebooting fixes the problem.  Anyone know 
why the installer could be screwing up my S key?  To whom would I report 
the bug?

Thanks,
Jeremy Rand
