The page will render the text huge much larger then it should be
looking at the source of the page i found that 
there are 
<li><h2> some text
used a lot
there is a little browser detection java script at the begining but 
i think that is just for the add window.
i think the problem is with the h2's
<li><h2> some text
<li><h2> some more text 
etc..
I saw this problem on build: 2002041903
Also on ealier builds: 2002041203
Also talking irc #mozilla nd #mozillazine
builds from saturday morning april 20th 2002
builds on linux either froze or also displayed content incorrectly
it appears that <center> tags repeated with out being closed is causing the
page to be rendered incorrectly
It appears that <center><h2> repeated with some text and not being closed is what
is causing this problem
None of the <h2> or other h tags are closed.
Mozilla seems to increment the fontsize for each unclosed tag, in the end
showing fonts ridiculously huge (one glyph becoming several pages tall etc.)
This would likely strain X and xfs on Linux for a long time, during convertion
to bitmap.

Resolving as duplicate of bug 89738 - this is considered a parser bug it seems.

the h2 tags are only incremented in font size if they are preceeded by an
unclosed center tag
From the "very nice testcase" in bug 89738, attachment 46036 [details]:
"However they are not closed if this second heading is withing a DIV or a CENTER"
