You probably ran into a bug/feature of MSIE that does not display 
text/plain inline, because for Microsoft the MIME type text/plain is 
ambiguous:

At least certain version will happily display an inline image if 
text/plain data begins with the string "GIF89a"... Off topic.

... that looks like you can at least sometimes reproduce the error on

down.  "My" requests are those from 81.173.213.163, by the way.

Frank said that he has fixed some bugs in sockdev.xdd.  I will try with 
a newer version of the device driver.
