IE hangs with drawmap.php

Client side is WinXP with SP2. Browser is IE 6.0.2900.2180. Windows and 
IE are the same on working and not working machine. I know that sounds 
crazy...

Server is SUSE Linux with MS 4.4.1:
MapServer version 4.4.1 OUTPUT=GIF OUTPUT=PNG OUTPUT=JPEG OUTPUT=WBMP 
SUPPORTS=PROJ SUPPORTS=FREETYPE SUPPORTS=WMS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WMS_CLIENT 
SUPPORTS=WFS_SERVER SUPPORTS=WFS_CLIENT INPUT=POSTGIS INPUT=OGR 
INPUT=GDAL INPUT=SHAPEFILE

Chameleon is version 2.
