Are you exceeding a session license restriction?  Not familiar with Raptor
specifically, but this sounds similar to a PIX session license problem I saw
recently.  Your browser will usually open  4 simultaneous "sessions" per seat when you
hit a web page, and if you have 20 users and 20 session license, only 5 simultaneous
people could send requests at exactly the same time for example.  Maybe Netscape and
MSIE handle the rejections differently when sessions are eaten up.  Just a wild
guess...
