Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 160602

Description

[Horst Gerbig]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

If I use the search function or open some of the links (no recognizable pattern,
not predictable even with links that did not work once) or use the search
function, I get an error message and the browser crashes

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
"New tab"
1. Open the page (or a subpage thereof).
2. Click on a link with the Ctrl button pressed.

"Search function"
1. Open the page (or a subpage thereof).
2. Type a band name into the "search" box.
3. Click on "Search" or hit Return.

Actual Results:  
Browser window vanishes from screen, an error message pops up saying, 'The
instruction at "0x77f7f269" referenced memory at "0x39393929". The memory could
not be "read". Click on OK to terminate the application.'
Upon the click, the browser logically shuts down.

Expected Results:  
"New tab"
Open a new browser tab with the target page.

"Search function"
Display a new page with the search results.

See text of error message under "Actual Results."

searching for about 5 mins) nothing happened
