I don't believe there are any consistent causes of this problem -
sometimes it just happens. Refreshing the exact same form will, 9
times out of 10, cure it.
However Chris - this might help in your debugging because when IE does
fail, it fails by sending an http header of 0 bytes in size. It's not
just the post form data that is lost, everything is. So trap that and
you should, theoretically, with a little browser detection mojo be
able to at least error gracefully.
