I can reproduce this problem using 1/15 trunk build on Win 98 system.

Looks like this is a long web page. 

print preview immediately hangs.

I tested both on the given URL and on this bug page itself using
build 2002011103 on a Windows ME box with NVIDIA TNT2 based video.

On the given URL, I get an immediate hang.

On this bug page, print preview has garbage outside the print area and
inside the CC: list.

Attachment: stack trace for hang in nsBlockFrame::ReflowDirtyLines

I also hit this infinite loop, viewing 
  http://www.newyorker.com/PRINTABLE/?fact/020128fa_FACT

The stack for the loop shows it's in nsBlockFrame::ReflowDirtyLines,
inside the large while loop:

  while (keepGoing && (nsnull != aState.mNextInFlow)) {
      ... looping in here ...
  }

To be clear, I get that stack trace when doing print preview for either
the ibm.com url or for the newyorker.com url.
