I can make mozilla do the hokey pokey

see bug http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=121566.

if I don't define a default height for the abResultsOutliner (the results pane 
in the addressbook) in localstore.rdf, then it is really easy to force mozilla 
into a wild infinite layout loop.  (on linux, it makes the splitter jump up and 
down like mad, on win32, the app will hang)

I've fixed 121566, but to reproduce it, do this:

create a new profile
launch addressbook, don't resize the window.
use the dom inspector and delete the height for the abResultsOutliner element.
add cards, one at a time.  when you add the fourth, you should start dancing.
