We're not aware of any general problem with the Markup Validator and IIS 5.0.
This appears to be a local configuration issue with your particular
installation; either due to how it is configured or due to an ISAPI filter
or...

The Markup Validator has no need to use HTTP Keep Alive because it only
requests a single document from the remote server. HTTP Keep Alive is an
optional method to optimize retreival of multiple documents from the same
server within a short period of time. Both the CSS Validator and the Link
Checker have need to fetch multiple documents to satisfy the request, so for
these tools HTTP Keep Alive is an appropriate optimization technique to use.
