  You can still move the mouse, but you can't affect the desktop.  Also, you
still see refreshes of the screen.  Everything seems normal, but you have lost
control.  Input ability is lost.  Ctrl-alt-delete doesn't work, no keys work. 
Only option is to reboot.  You can understand how dangerous that option is...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  simply open the browser to http://www.ratemyfaceadult.com
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Lost ability to manipulate anything on the desktop with the use of the mouse
and/or keyboard.

Expected Results:  
Simply load the page without crashing X.

I believe this bug is caused by the way Coldfusion sends http info to the
browser.  I have contacted the webmaster about this and he is looking into what
the problem could be caused by.

Works for me, using solaris nightly 2002121122.

Bryan, could you try this with a current version of mozilla and see if the
problem still exists? Please update this bug report with the results of the test.
