David Hassalevris asked the Zope mailinglist about the following:
  
DH> On some browsers, eg MSIE 6, some of my images simply do not appear on the
DH> browser screen. ( Or sometimes they do and sometimes not.)

DH> The URLS to the image are hard-coded and do not use aquisition.  That is, I
DH> use:
DH> <img scr="/Images/imageName"> rather than
DH> <img src="ImageName">
DH> I mention this last point because I have seen references to
DH> aquisition/caching issues affecting image rendering.

DH> The images are GIF files.  I am using Zope 2.6.1

DH> So something is happening.  I am hoping someone has seen this and can give
DH> me some tips.

I can confirm i have seen this behaviour on several occasions. - But i
am sorry to say i have not investigated what makes it happen.
It only seems to happen with small image files (typically gif-icons)
that are displayed a lot.

It sometimes happens to the ZMI icons.
I have seen it happen from time to time on several versions of Zope.

Could it in any way be related to this bug ?
