User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030806
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030806

In the above URL, the textarea at the end of the page has no caret in it. More
seriously, if large amounts of text are entered, after a certain point the text
is no longer displayed; finally, once you've gotten to this point, if you select
and delete some text, the browser will freeze. The freeze doesn't necessarily
happen immediately; you may have to select and delete a few times, or select and
try to enter more text.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load page
2. focus on textarea at end
3. type lots
4. after text stops appearing, select some text and press "backspace"
5. repeat 4 until browser freezes

Actual Results:  
frozen browser. kill to get out.

Expected Results:  
not frozen.

The above URL may expire. I'll upload the text of the page as an attachment.
Tarball of the page and included files, in case it expires before someone gets
a chance to look at the bug.
