Is this reproducible on *any* PDFs, or specific testcases (URL welcome)?

I'm seeing it on every page on beta http://en.wikipedia.beta.wmflabs.org/

Click "Yes" and get "stack overflow".

Dear Chris,

unfortunately, I do not have a native IE7 anymore, so I used IE8 in compatibility mode. I checked the homepage as well as a few random articles and could not find any problems. The bug seems to occur only in native IE7.

Best,
Christoph
