Hi there, I was fishing through some old Watir examples when I decided
to try the joke script found at:

http://agileworks.blogspot.com/2006/04/geeks-version-of-joke.html

When I run the code, I notice that Watir gets stuck waiting for the
first page to load (the only URL specified in that script).  It even
hangs when I try to manually connect to that site through IRB.

When I cancel out of the wait, I see the following error in IRB:
---
irb(main):003:0> ie = Watir::IE.start( site_url )
IRB::Abort: abort then interrupt!!
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:81:in `irb_abort'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:243:in `signal_handle'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/1.8/irb.rb:66:in `start'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-
class.rb:475:in `wait'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-
class.rb:154:in `_attach_init'
        from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/watir-1.6.2/lib/watir/ie-
class.rb:146:in `attach'
        from (irb):3

Any thoughts as to why Watir is hanging?  It looks like the page has
finished loading but control doesn't return to the script or IRB.

I'm using Watir 1.6.2 gem.  I tried this using Watir 1.5.2 and got the
same result, although a slightly different error in IRB.

Please let me know.  Thanks.  Paul C.
