Does this still occur when you switch to one of the default 
themes (Classic or Modern)?

I've not seen that happening in any of the MultiZilla builds that 
I've used -- my current build is Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows 
NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050627 MultiZilla/1.8.0.1n

You could try replacing your current multiviews.jar with 
http://downloads.mozdev.org/multizilla/multiviews-nightly.jar and 
see if that helps.

It could be just an OS/2 thing, since I've not heard anyone 
mention any problems on the three major platforms.

The prefs panels have changed quite a lot recently, but in my 
build uncheck the box prefs -> MultiZilla -> Miscellenous -> 
Display warning for new and suspicious looking domain names.

I think that this option was under the "advanced" branch of the 
MultiZilla prefs in earlier builds.
