| Internet Explorer 6 (under Wine in Linux) reports a 500 server error.

The "Are you sure you want to do this?" means that a nonce failed
validation.

However I don't think there are any nonce checks when the media uploader
is shown.

Do you have any pre caching browser plugins that are following all the
links in the page?

Have you tried with all your WordPress plugins disabled?
