Why am I receiving "A System Problem has Occurred" error in NavigatorSearch (formerly Roadrunner) or an EBSCO database, and how can I resolve it?

The A System Problem has Occurred error message in NavigatorSearch (formerly Roadrunner) or EBSCOhost databases is usually due to a cache issue in your browser preventing the database and search interface from properly loading the current page or resource. Here is an example of the error screen:
