Description:
I can conclude the edit of pages or section of wikipedia if they are "big" (probably beyond a given size, not yet determined).
I work with mandrake linux 9.1, linux 2.4, konqueror 3.1.
With this platform, when I try to edit a "big" page or section, for instance the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroot
when I press one of 'Save page' 'Show preview' 'Show changes', for instance 'Show preview' without having modified anything,
the browser waits for a while, and thereafter I get an error message like this:

ERROR
The requested URL could not be retrieved
While trying to retrieve the URL: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Canvassing&action=submit
The following error was encountered:

If I click on 'Save page', the page is not saved.
Editing "small" pages, or "small" sections of big pages is Ok, for instance editing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grassroot#Technique is ok.
Editing with windows XP and internet explorer is ok.
I tried also with mozilla 1.3, lynx 2.8, and Kubuntu linux 6.06 and konqueror, and I get the same problem.
Unitl a few months ago, I didn't notice this problem, so I guess it has been recently introduced.
