problems with IE6 and mediawiki 1.11

looking for help with a saving issue using ie6
I'm getting reports from 2 of my users that when they try to save an article
ie6 complains that's it's 'encountered an error and must close'
I have tested the page they're working on with ie6, ie7 and firefox without any
issues on my end
has anyone else encountered this?

I did find a notation on wikimedia about ie6 'Internet Explorer 6 deletes any
page longer than 32k when saving'
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Browser_issues_with_Wikipedia
Is this still a bug and is there a workaround?

My users are not allowed to use any browser except ie6

thanks in advance for any help
kate

Using wikipedia or another wiki?
Does it have any embedded content? Such as flash, java, ActiveX...
Looks like a problem with some plugin.
