session_start() by default sends a cache control header including "no-store".
Internet Explorer takes this a bit too literally, but doesn't have appropriate
error handling for the case, and as a result explodes cryptically when you
attempt to save the output page to disk.

Before session_start(), add "session_cache_limiter('none');", or look up that
function and tweak the limiter as appropriate (probably 'private' is closer to
the mark).
