This 'fix' breaks code in the SAP environment we are working on. SAP has two
code branches, one for Firefox and one for IE. We have directed SAP to check
the user-agent and pass Safari code designed for Firefox, which has allowed the
environment to function correctly. We have also told SAP that WebKit strives to
adheres to the W3C spec and generally behaves like Firefox, not IE. This case
is an exception to that rule. 

This patch causes the entire SAP environment to fail - it causes the main tabs
of the application to break leaving the application completely unusable.

It will be very difficult or impossible to convince SAP to change the code in
thier Firefox branch to behave like IE code, considering this will break thier
code for Firefox. It occurs to me that WebKit should stay in sync with Firefox
until the Mozilla guys get around to modifying the behavior to work like IE.
Ours may not be the only regression related to this issue.

Can you please consider reverting this change until Firefox makes the same
change?

Best regards,

Jake
