Hello all,

I'm running a swiki server on a win2k machine. whenever someone opens an
uploaded ms word document in IE, the server hangs, eating all the CPU time
in the process. the document does appear in the IE window... but the swiki
ceases to respond to http requests.

here's a log except showing the problem:

whenever it hangs, the last line in the log is always the "Microsoft Data
Access Internet Publishing Provider DAV 1.1" line. I assume that whatever
this service is is sending some sort of screwy http request.

I've seen this behavior on beta 11 and swiki 1.1 on several win2k boxes,
being hit by a number of different IE 5.* clients (the particular version
of IE I'm using to test at the moment is 5.50.4522.1800)

I'm pretty new to this list, so this may be a well-known problem. And
despite being a longtime swiki user and administrator, I have remarkably
little squeak experience, so please speak slowly and use small words.
