Well we just restored a backup of the site and noted that we had removed the
following apparently redundant CSS:

<style type="text/css">
..style1 {
text-align: left;
}
..style32 {
text-align: center;
}
..style38 {
text-align: center;
}
..style39 {
color: #000000;
}
</style>

Reinstating this seems to have fixed the IE bug! Can anyone get the
'Operation aborted' window to appear now by refreshing this page WHILST it
is still working?

There was a mention to some style code in one of the fixes for this known IE
bug. Anyway, it now appears to be resolved.

Thanks for all the tips. Hopefully MS will fix the bug before even more
programmers hate their browser, even if the majority of public don't.
