According to my browser history, I visited PragProg.com on 7-9-08 and I recall *not* seeing this problem then. Dave Thomas said in an email yesterday that PragProg has made no code changes to the site since then. Looking in my problem host's APT log, I see that the following suspect packages (nvidia restricted and firefox) have changed since then:

7-2: nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.42 -> nvidia-glx-new_169.12+2.6.24.13-19.44
7-14: nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.44 -> 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45
7-25: xulrunner 1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 -> 1.9_1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
7-25: firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1 -> 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2
7-29: xulrunner 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 -> 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
7-29: firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.2 -> 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

Rolled back firefox and the problem still exists:
+ nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.45
- firefox 3.0+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1
- xulrunner 1.9+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.1

Brought firefox up-to-date and rolled back nvidia-glx-new, problem still exists:
- nvidia-glx-new 169.12+2.6.24.13-19.42
+ firefox 3.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3
+ xulrunner 1.9.0.1+build1+nobinonly-0ubuntu0.8.04.3

So, color me confused.
