The problem was the cryptic InternetExplorer dialog had the poor woman  
so flustered she couldn't do anything. Debug? YES? NO? YES? NO?, wait,  
maybe its YES? or maybe NO?

The keypad still worked, and hitting the cancel button stopped the  
beeping and eventually led to her card being ejected.

From now on I'm taking my digital camera on all ATM trips.
