[OpenLayers-Users] line modify crashes safari

[Andreas Hocevar]

Can anyone affected by this issue please test the patch attached to

http://trac.openlayers.org/ticket/2402

I made it so the workaround only affects browsers with a userAgent
string containing "applewebkit/5". I would ask affected users to report
their user agent string. To do so, please enter

javascript:alert(navigator.userAgent)

in your browser's address bar, and report the result.

I also opened a webkit bug for the issue, see the ticket mentioned above
for a link.

Regards,
Andreas.
