Yep, I experienced this problem occasionally too. But simple page
refresh after a few seconds/minutes always helps. It's obvious that
MySQL server provided by SF for project is sometimes overloaded
and dogslow or (dead)locked. I guess that MySQL server is shared
among all projects that requested database services, so it's
vulnerable to peak overloading.

P.S. I use IE 5.01 or Konqueror with good results at Firebird site
everyday. Keep me informed if that problems persist, I'll complain
at source forge staff.
