Hi,

Had the same problem today and Google will tell you this is due to "proxy issues".

My exact experience today is: we mistyped the proxy PAC file URL (under configure -> use a PAC file in the proxy part of yr network prefs).

Significantly, the problem was not rectified even when we moved to a "manual" config or cleared the URL, we had to type in a good URL (presumably with a good PAC file) before safari would work.

Note also that this hoses all Apple programs which use WebKit to access web stuff - which is why it can kill most iThings but not firefox (which uses it's own proxy settings)
