I got an answer that works on the paste mailing list:

This got me to the solution of the problem.

I have verified in WireShark sessions that IE7 is sending a CRLF at
the end of the POST request.  Oddly on my old server this doesn't
cause problems, but this is what is causing problems on the new one.

Here is a MS article on the problem with a registry fix:

I don't know that I'll be able to get all the users to apply this, but
I'm happy to at least be able to point the finger directly at IE7.

Thanks!
John
