Also results in SELECT dropdown lists not rendering. Does not occur in Firebird

Someone on the forums saw this bug on the FilmCritic site. If this bug is
related, then it is present in Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7a)
Gecko/20040107 Firebird/0.7+ (daihard; XFT+GTK2; optimized for P4/SSE-2)

Code fragment:

<td class="searchsite" width="22%">
 <p>
 <TABLE BORDER=0 CELLSPACING=1 CELLPADDING=1>
  <TR VALIGN=top>
   <TD WIDTH="144">
    <B><FONT SIZE=2><center>Search the Site</center></FONT></B>
   </TD>
   <TD WIDTH="34">
    <FORM METHOD="POST" TARGET=""
ACTION="http://filmcritic.com/misc/emporium.nsf/84dbbfa4d710144986256c290016f76e?SearchView">

  <TR VALIGN=top>
   <TD WIDTH="144">
     <input name="Query" size=20 VALUE="search filmcritic.com" 
onclick="this.value=''">
   </TD>
   <TD WIDTH="34">
     <input type=image border=0 alt="Click here to search"
src="/misc/mepics.nsf/view/trianglespc/$File/trianglespc.gif">
     </form>
   </TD>
  </TR>
 </TABLE>
</td>

That </form> tag inside the second set of <TR> tags looks interesting.

This is fixed now. Suspect bug 233094 to have fixed it, duping.
