time when that textarea has a font-family style specified.

See example url for more explanation with a sample.

2. Textarea a has a style="font-family:xxx" 
3. change a's rows and overflow values
4. when a's new rows = b's rows then browser crashes

Actual Results:

Just resize the textarea.

Computer is really standard Dell Win 2k, nothing fancy.

Appears similar to bugs 45147, 42492, 33654.

The attached testcase works for me on Win2k. 

Lance, can you try if you still see this crash with a current Mozilla version?

Looks like it is fixed.

Just tested it with Mozilla 1.5 ( Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1;
