[Bug 341246] [NEW] konqueror 4.2.1 makes rapid, repeated requests to nytimes.com even after closing

[lcampagn]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: konqueror

I am using kubuntu intrepid with KDE4.2 installed via backports. When I
load nytimes.com in konqueror, it begins making rapid requests to the
website which continue even after I close the window. I must then kill
konqueror from the command line to stop the traffic. Attached is a
tcpdump sample of a few rounds of this traffic.

I have not yet noticed this behavior with any other websites.

Version info:
