Description
On Vista IE, Kernel can trigger the UAC prompt for each bundle that it downloads.  The culprit is the switchover to unpack200.exe from Bundle.unpack().

Comments
EVALUATION Not sure why this is only happening on some Vista machines and not others, but in any case invoking the unpacker via jbroker fixes the issue.
