Details

Some pages with images that are ads fail to load those images: examples are http://www.maccentral.com/ http://www.macweek.com/ Examples of their URLs: Image URL: http://ad.doubleclick.net/ad/idg.macworld.com/newsside3;sz=120x90;stile=3;ord= 991015153430? Link URL: http://ad.doubleclick.net/jump/idg.macworld.com/newsside2;sz=120x60;stile=2;ord= 991015153430? Perhaps the ; in the URL breaks URL parsing somewhere?
On linux all adds load, but on both sites the Stuffit add gets only one cycle of it's animated picture, then the reload fails. So I think this is not urlparser problem. Maybe a timing problem.

the problem is when mozilla tries to load the image from the server and instead the server returns another location for the image. verifying dupe, as I telnetted into doubleclick myself to see the redirection.
