static front page not appearing in Safari

I am using WP as a cms – just static pages. In options I set the static front page to be my page called “home” and the post page to be another page. It defaults to the static home page fine in Firefox, but in Safari it goes right to posts. I have the exact same wordpress site with the same theme (“no limits”) working fine in Safari on another database (both are dreamhost). Any ideas? (The home page has a custom theme applied to it.)

If I type in the direct link to the home page in Safari it does go there:
http://cyh.dreamhosters.com/?page_id=3

But http://cyh.dreamhosters.com will not default to the static home page in Safari.

Thanks.
