Browser looses track of named windows.

[LB]

This started happening a while back on a workstation running win2k.
Suddenly,
javascript code that posts forms to another window does not recognize that a
window already exists and opens a new window. Now it also started happening
on my laptop (win2k as well) and I can't figure out what's causing it.
Several sites use this method to pass info to new windows and it is starting
to bug me that every time two windows are opened. Also all the DOM
references between parent and child windows are screwed up (one can't
reference the other).

I tried reinstalling ie, running sfc, upgrading from 5.5 to 6. Nothing
gives....

Any ideas?

Make a test case demonstrating the problem and post a URL so that others
with IE can check whether the problem occurs with their browsers too.
