A screenshot of some of the garbage moz gives me
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030328
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030328
When viewing individual pages on this site with Mozilla, they intermittently
appear as garbled, random unicode text. I was using a build from a month ago and
experienced this error three times, so I went out and grabbed the latest build
of Moz and went back and the bug is still there.
It seems like a bug in the parser to me, but I'm probably wrong. Tested the page
in IE, and it works fine.
Reproducible: Sometimes
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open page.
2. If garbling does not occur, open other links on the page.
3. Continue browsing the page and allow pages to fully load until this occurs.
Actual Results:
Pages intermittently would become corrupted and filled with random unicode
characters and formatting.
Expected Results:
Displayed the page properly ;)
Refreshing the page, or going back and then forward, corrected the problem 95%
of the time.

Note that I only have experienced this on pages in this site that I linked to,
but it occurs on multiple pages from the site intermittently. On the homepage
it spewed about 3 pages full of what you see in the screenshot.

Ack. Update - Pages on this site now also randomly become blank, white pages in
Moz. What's going on?
I went to the URL I posted as a link, and hit refresh. Now, every time I open it
(or refresh it), a view source yields this:
<html><body></body></html>

Some more info:
I turned off the pipelining and link prefetching (Installing the new Moz seems
to have turned them on), and cleared my cache, and went back to the site. Loaded
partially, and then garbled again - at the exact same place it garbled the last
time.
A view source still shows the correct source for the page.
The garbling happens during load, presumably once it hits some sort of bad html
markup or something in the page. Still intermittent.

Based on the "intermittent" status on this, I'd be tempted to think Networking.

Bug also occurs with nightly trunk build 2003-06-20-08 on Linux.
It's 100% reproducable: if I SHIFT-Reload I see garbage. If I just Reload the
page is rendered correctly.

I cannot reproduce the bug at all, despite trying for 10 Mins, using all links,
reloading, clearing cache and reloading page
