OK, something really screwy is going on here. I am not sure what. I restarted
Mozilla thinking that it might be the cause. I can search the docs for a
while, but then it happenned again.
Also, I often browse Bruce Momjian's tutorial at:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/aw_pgsql_book/index.html

which I thought is just static pages. And it also often stalls there too, even
after restating mozilla

I tried with links (text browser) and haven't had any problems so far.

archives.postgresql.org seems fine though, although I haven't really search a
lot there.

Not really sure what's wrong, but I might upgrade to the latest mozilla, to
see if it's browser problem, or take it up to their mailing list.

Thanks.
