The whole point is the size of the output.  So, if the ZAP skin is
a "stripped down" skin, then it very well could be producing less
than 512 characters of output (at which point IE substitutes its
own "friendly error message" instead of using whatever the skin
provided).

All you have to do is:
  1.  reset things such that you again see the problem in IE
  2.  access the same page using Firefox
  3.  select "View Page Info" in Firefox
  4.  tell us the size of the page (i.e., bytes)

If the size is less than 512 bytes, we have our answer as to
why IE was not displaying the page.  If the size of the page is
more than 512 bytes, we might want to look at the actual
generated HTML itself, to see what characteristic IE is
keying on to decide when to display its own error message.
