Removing those for now.

I have been reviewing build logs between -2 and -3. and there isn't many
differences, except 1.
-2 is built with gcc4.2. -3 is built with gcc4.3.
So it might very well be a miscompilation or misoptimization. Those are though
a bit out of my scope of knowledge.
There has been a few gcc-4.3 uploads since then though.

From the file inside Internet Explorer you neither should ever ping to the

window.
