Attachment: Screenshot!

I have just repeated the procedure and the same thing happened:

After opening the browser, I started Chatzilla and then typed the following:
/attach dalnet
/list
..................... Craaassssshhh!!!

I therefore don't know which server did I connect to, but it must be the one
already set as defualt (perhaps you would know).

Worth to be mentioned, (while the channels were being listed in the main
chatzilla screen (shortly before crashing), I couldn't do anything with the
browser - it appeared to be already frozen.

It didn't actually crash, it just used up so much CPU time that the other parts
of the browser and the UI don't get a chance to respond.  (And it doesn't
respond to Windows, which is why you got that message.)
