@VonC, thanks for the pointer to the thread. That person seems to have exactly the same problem. I followed up on that thread. But the suggestion to used Fiddler doesn't help, because the Ajax response has already been processed by IE at the time of the crash.

@VonC, adding to my previous comment: there doesn't seem to be much of a correlation between the content of the Ajax response and the fact that there is a hang. Also there is JavaScript running in according to the stack traces I see.

@Alessandro: so since mshtmled.dll is related with DOM element manipulations, may be that Javascript is the culprit...

@VonC, what makes you think that mshtmled.dll is related with DOM element manipulations. I am not saying that it is not, and based on the name it makes sense, but do you have other indications? Personal experience, documentation?

@Alessandro: no I only deduce that from the various description of the dll I saw on the net. I have updated my answer to include the possibility to deactivate that ActiveX control. May be that will be enough. Let us know.

@VonC, good idea! I tried that, but mshtmled.dll is still used. I updated the question with more information about this (see what is under "Trying to disable mshtmled.dll").
