Description

1. launch mozilla client 
2. attempt to access http://www.jobs.nih.gov
3. Client hangs, no part of page is displayed (status bar reads transferring 
data from www.jobs.nih.gov
4. Must force quit client
Expected Result: page loads successfully
Other notes: This occurs in NS 1.0, Moz 1.0, and embed clients 
This DOES not occur on Linux platforms (windows only, tested on win2k, win98). 
I did not try to repro on Mac platforms.

This page has java.  Perhaps that is causing a problem.

Which JRE version DO you use ?
If you use JRE1.3.x, can you please upgrade to JRE1.4 ?
