Trying out POC.zip

Chris,   I've downloaded the file pic.zi_ from https://crosswire.org/svn/tynstep/trunk/STEPTestGWT/poc.zi_
On my simply Windows XP, I renamed the file pic.zip and extracted the files.
I double-clicked on RunSTEP.bat.
Windows firewall asked me if I wanted to unblock it - I did - though it was already opening a window in Firefox (my default) and produced this:

I terminated the batch with Ctrl-C and tried again, but got the same.
Tried pasting http://localhost:8080/ in IE8 and got the same.

Not the same as in your post, but something is certainly interacting with the browser.  Well done! 
(sorry to take so long to do this - had so many urgent things that the fun things had to wait)

Here's the installation messages from the batch file (just in case they are useful):
