The page completely crashed mozilla. See attached additional info.
'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'
(Details: serial 31288 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to the page

Actual Results:  
crash

Expected Results:  
normal page display

The program 'mozilla-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 31288 error_code 16 request_code 154 minor_code 20)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
too many <big>, no </p>, but no crash seen, seems to be invalid HTML.

...crashes as well.

The HTML code is valid, though. </P> is not explicitly required and the nesting
depth of <BIG> should crash the browser!

The only thing you have ruled out is that the bug is not Windoze-related.
