The problem is that the javascript in the banner code is doing a 
document.write(), which is a sync call ... if there is a break anywhere in 
the network, or the ads server goes down for maintenance, it jams up the 
works ...

Does anyone know enough about Javascript to know how to re-write it so 
that its async instead of sync? :(
