Just saw this at MozillaZine forums today. Apparently, someone somehow typed
http://http:// and it redirected to http://www.microsoft.com ; I was able to
reproduce this on Windows XP and 98. It also happens when one puts in a web
address. I was not able to reproduce this in Mozilla 1.7.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type http://http://foo.com into the Location Bar.
Actual Results:  
Above redirected to http://www.microsoft.com/

Expected Results:  
An error message saying "http could not be found." (This is what happened when I
tried to reproduce it in Mozilla 1.7.)
