I'm using Mozilla v0.9.5. When I visit the URL http://www.vmware.com/support/ws3/doc/ws30_disks4.html the browser hangs and jumps to 100% CPU utilization. I turned off Javascript, but this didn't solve the problem.
confirming 2001101803 NT4 Mozilla hangs (100% CPU) before any rendering. Memory use keeps growing --> finish to crash (did not try that)
Also seeing this 2001101803/Win98SE.
Confirmed also on 2001101117/Win2kServer
I ran it through HTMLtidy, it gives more than 300 Errors, then the resulting page displays fine. This is a very crappy Framemaker -> HTML conversion. Based on the comment below this should actually be platform all/all I think.
Found the problem. The document has 33 Title tags scattered around the document. Removing those fixes the problem.
this freezes me so i can't get a talkback report. Need someone with a debug build

Moving them all to the <HEAD> section also fixes it. But I'm unable to create a simplified testcase.
Confirmed on 2001080110, WinXP. Page mostly loads, freezing near the end.
