(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Mark Rabideau]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030529

When I attempt to open a webhelp htm file created in RoboHelp, Mozilla goes into
an infinite loop (see:http://eirenicon.org/DRES/DRESHelp/DRES_User_Manual.htm )

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on this link: http://eirenicon.org/DRES/DRESHelp/DRES_User_Manual.htm
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
screen goes into 'forever' repaint.

Expected Results:  
open an html subsystem.  This html file works fine under IE 6 you can see the
results there.

This is potentially serious in that anything created in Robohelp becomes
unusable or readable in Mozilla.  8^(

Testcase no longer works. But we have two works-for-me confirmations. I went to
the eirenicon.org site and browsed a bit. No crashes.

Therefore I'm marking this bug as WFM. 
Reporter, please update to a current release of Mozilla (like Mozilla 1.6 or
Firefox 0.8) and retest this. Please also provide a new testcase. If you have a
new testcase and you still see Mozilla crash, please reopen this bug. Thank you.
