I've managed to repeat this occurence about five times, even after clearing
the cache.

When accessing RTE's home page 'http://www.rte.ie' without graphics,
everything's fine. But when I try to access the page with colour graphics
turned on, CAB downloads the image, starts converting it and then locks up.

I remember that in the previous releases it was always stated that CAB doesn't
like 16 colour GIFS, therefore might this be the case ?

Tip
***

For fastest page displays when graphics aren't important, switch off graphics,
turn on text instead of graphics and _don't_ have GDOS loaded (or just use the
system font for all type styles).

This mightn't be the most elegant solution, but it speeds up browsing until
you find the pages that you need.
