htmlsuite with iexplore dies in the middle of test run

[lukeis]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 4511

When running htmlsuite with iexplore the test run dies on about test case number 78-80.
It works fine running same test with FireFox, but not with IE. The test did not have
any errors, I tried to run the remaining test cases in separate test suite - runs fine.
Looks like the number of executed test cases causes the issue.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. execute:
java -jar c:\Projects\_Common\Automation\Selenium\Lib\selenium-server-standalone -2.25.0.jar
-htmlSuite "*iexplore" "http://[host].[domain].com:8080/" "c:\Projects\_Common\Automation\Selenium\[project_name]\tsMananger.html"
"c:\SeleniumLogs\[project_name]\iexplore_tsMananger_results.html"
2. Test run suddenly ended at around number 78 (all windows closed)
3. Here are the last lines of logs (from terminal window):
12:10:45.919 INFO - Started SocketListener on 0.0.0.0:54786

real browser???)
