wireshark becomes unresponsive.  It's not hung since if you wait long enough
(several minutes) you can get responses to clicks.  I saved a session (3758
packets) where this was happening.  When you try to load this saved session
back into wireshark, the load process takes 5-6 minutes.  I have no reason to
think that the particular URL I used is significant.

I've attached a zip file with the saved packets and a .png file that shows my
system configuration.  Let me know if there's more that I should send.


Thanks.

PS Ignore the "component" field in the report.  I have no idea where the
problem is.
