What IE configuration contains "MSIE 8" and "MSIE 6"?

Does anyone know which configuration leads to MSIE 8, reports a line that also contains MSIE 6 (truncated version to lows)?

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

This is not a problem to circumvent (sniffing training is not necessary, I know about evil), but I'm interested in getting some background, which can cause this.

I saw this on the employees' home machine, and we could not understand what could cause this.

Update:

Only today I got another example of such a "strange" configuration; some clients report a problem with the embedded video, and I immediately noticed this "nested" User-Agent:

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1) ; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET CLR 1.0.3705; .NET4.0C; .NET CLR 2.0.50727
