Adding insult to injury: The same URL works on my machine in IE 6, SP 1.  :-(

Here is an easier way to reproduce (from bug 222700):

-or-
2. Middle-button (to open a new tab) click on "Last weeks' column"

100% CPU without making any HTTP requests.  Bug also occurs when JavaScript is
turned off and I have no Flash plugin installed.

I'm sorry for the ammount of my bugspam, but I think all bugs with /perl/story/
in the URL should be duped against one signle bug(bug 218512?), it's very likely
it's the same problem.

Yes, we know, it's marked as "depends on" until we know for sure...
