It happens to me, too, and has happened for a while. I never worked
out just what was wrong, though it seems to be the result of server
producing the `searching...' output, then following up with the search
results in the same multi-part HTTP response. I don't know if this is
a well-formed response which Safari just hasn't caught up with, or a
botched bugzilla response which Safari doesn't hack into
intelligibility. That is, I don't know if this is a bugzilla bug or a
Safari one.
It's probably not just OSX users that would see this, since I
understand that Safari is built around the KDE rendering engine, so
presumably anyone using the native KDE browser would see the same (can
anyone do the experiment -- I'm curious).
