Weird behavior in Macintosh forum.

Clicking on Box's "OSX and road runner" post initiates a download of "show.exe" on Windows system? Running Mozilla 1.0, if that matters. Also, on Linux system with Mozilla 0.9.9. And, holy shyte, it works fine in IE on the Windows box. :( Nothing peculiar in the HTML itself, that I can see, and the following fails here as well: [link\|/forums/render/content/show?contentid=48716\|OSX and road runner] i.e.: <a href="/forums/render/content/show?contentid=48716">OSX and road runner</a> if you look at source.

I tried to run it, and I got that it was not a valid WIN32 application. Could it be downloading the Unix show command that shows the posts by mistake? *[link\|http://games.speakeasy.net/data/files/khan.jpg\|"Khan!!!" -Kirk]*
