[Moonlight-list] Getting a basic IronPython SL app working in Moonlight

[Chris Toshok]

We've spent some cycles tracking this down, but nothing concrete toward 
fixing it (yet).  It's similar to problems that have crept in to make 
the tests work which cause problems with several deployed sites, like 
netflix.  We'll put some effort in tonight and hopefully have some good 
news for you in the morning.
