Since it's an IE bug you'd be trying to work around it's probably
pretty hard to do anything without rewriting its unknown, brain-dead
behaviour of handling stuff.

I think that maybe these efforts would be better spent doing two things instead:

1 - Documenting this behaviour somewhere in the Catalyst docs, since
it's a known issue that *will* bite every Windows developer;

2 - Trying to improve the built-in server so that it's not *that*
sluggish while running with the "-k" option - it's sluggish to the
point of being annoying.

1 is an easy task, I'd do it myself and provide the patch if I'd know
*where* exactly this should be written. 2 might be somewhat
problematic and I don't know any details of how it's implemented or
why it happens.
