Ok this time my "fix" still works after several tests. The answer of 
course was in front of me all along. Ed LaFrance had posted this:

In my case (custom built apache 1.3.26), the lines were already 
uncommented, but stopped at IE 4:

BrowserMatch "MSIE 4\.0b2;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

I changed that to read:

BrowserMatch ".*MSIE.*;" nokeepalive downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

and that seems to have done it. I wasn't observant enough to catch the 
version mismatch when I read Ed's post the first time. Thanks Ed!

I welcome test orders to prove I'm really cured:
