iBook G4, 1.2 GHz, 768 MB RAM, OS 10.4.11, Safari 4.0.3 (4531.9),
Firefox 3.5.3

Today, when I went to check my AIM Mail account (not my main account -
it's used for a specific purpose), I got an error message to the effect
that Safari couldn't display the page due to too many redirects. I have
not seen this behavior before.

Checking the account on Firefox works, however.

I only use Firefox for work, and would rather use Safari for everything
else. Any idea on what the problem could be and how to fix it would be
appreciated.

Nailed it in one. It was a cookie problem. Thanks.
