This has not happened. I was using a version of Netscape
that may not be up-to-date; I'm not sure what would happen on
Mozilla or Internet Explorer.
Please let me know if you can reproduce this problem, and if so, under
which conditions it appears.

Or maybe a warning if they start to edit _while_
you are
editing,
We can only show the warning when the edit page is loaded, i.e. to the
person editing after another person has started doing so. We need a time
limit because otherwise people could get the warning indefinitely if
someone opens an edit window and doesn't save.
