User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; WinNT4.0; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312

A wget on the above URL gets a file that is 460KB, so its not a small page.  In
Task Mgr, mozilla takes 50% of CPU time on a dual proc machine, and steadily
allocates memory.  Viewing the file from wget shows lots of nested tables.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Browse to URL

Actual Results:  
apparent hang

Expected Results:  
proper rendering of page

I tracked the bug down to a minimal testcase.
The infinite loop is caused by the css statement overflow:auto that's applied to
the option. That has been reported before.
