    	I was doing some surfing the web yesterday and one of the web sites haven't
    been to for a while had some weird characters around the web site.  At first
    I assumed that they were doing some debugging since it appeared to be random
    4 digit codes in random places on the web site.  Later in that same session
    I had some problems viewing one of the theme demo pages on the same site; so
    I disabled the Privacy system in ZA and notice that the web site worked
    properly without the codes.  So I investigated it a little more and here are
    the results of my tests:
    
    1. I.E. 5.5 & Netscape 4.7x will both show the page with random 4 digit
    codes randomly through the page.
    2. Netscape 6.2.1 won't show the page -- the view source for the page only
    shows "< html>< body>< /body>< /html>" (without the spaces)
    3. Opera 6.01 refuses to do anything with the page.
    
    If I disable the Zone Alarms Privacy features (i.e. Click on the Browser in
    Program Control->Programs and turn off Privacy) all the browsers work
    properly as then ZA is no longer filtering the connection.
    
    I filled out the form on ZA's website to report this and got back a nice
    canned response that had nothing to do with the problem I reported.  So I
    replied and got another stupid response from them that again had very little
    to do with the problem.
    
    So can someone confirm this problem:
    
    I'm using Windows 2000 fully patched.
    Zone Alarm 3.0.118 (Latest Version)
    The web site www.phpbb.com.
