While attempting to read attachments in mail or sending mail or trying to
download a file from the browser, the mozilla goes into a "not responding"
state, my CPU utilization goes to 100%, and memory usage for the application
continues to climb until Windows reports a shortage of memory.  Can only stop it
by killing the mozilla process in the Windows task manager.  (can't download new
version of mozilla).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Start mail.
2.Compose message.
3.Send message - Application Hangs.

or

1. start mail.
2. Double click on attachment.
3. Application hangs.

or

1. Start browser.
2. go to mozilla.org
3. Click on download latest version link.
4. Application hangs.

Actual Results:  
Processor CPU utilization went to 100%.  Task manager showed the application was
"not responding".  Memory utilization was climbing past 120,000K and not stopping. 

Expected Results:  
sent my mail, openned my attachment, downloaded the file.

Can you please close Mozilla and delete the file "xul.mfl" in your Mozilla Profile 
(see the Release notes for the profile path)

(and delete downloads.rdf if that doesn't fix it)

BTW: This is fixed in 1.3
