IE7 Error

The problem, a web page doesn't load correctly in IE7.
The error is some variation on the above.
Microsoft support note this as occurring with some ActiveX controls (nope)
Some people note Add-ins can cause this (disable them all and restart browser, nope).
The error (also sometimes "line: 1") seems to reflect that a permissions problem of some sort occurred.
In this case removing the cookie from the site fixed the problem, but we have no reason to believe there is a problem with the web page, or cookie handling other than IE7 sometimes messes up.
Indeed most of the remaining issues with the site in question seem to be IE sometimes messes up, fortunately a workaround exists ;)
