Interesting, I now see why this page always fails when setting
confirmation on new windows to 'ask'. This is what happens:
A subframe is finished and
  void KHTMLPart::checkEmitLoadEvent()
    if ( d->m_bLoadEventEmitted || ...) return;
    .....
    d->m_bLoadEventEmitted = true;
    if (d->m_doc)
       d->m_doc->close();
  }
causes a onload event which want to open a new window ->Confirmation dialog.
In the dialog's event loop other frames get finished and causes an onload
event of the parent frame. This is too early!!!, because a child frame is
still inside the onLoad js function waiting for the Confirmation dialog.
The cause is 'd->m_bLoadEventEmitted = true;' before emiting the event.
Unfortunately, this bool is also used for the reentrance check here
(because DocumentImpl::close() also calls checkEmitLoadEvent().
