Crash confirmed with 2000-01-27-08-M14 on Win NT: although the main part of the
page did not appear, the links on the sidebar caused the crash just fine.
This is despite the links being plain old simple anchors like
"<a href="/macworld/">Macworld</a>".

This page has "<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage 4.0">"
up at the top. Why do I start to think of badly nested elements, with missing
and extra tags thrown into the mix? Right now I just don't want to know
what HTML Tidy is going to think of this page.

Passing over to "Parser" Component ... 

BTW, the attachment does not work due to relative URLs in a stylesheet <LINK>.

The problem seems to be in the linked page. I was able to view (and save) it
with Netscape 4.7 and after stripping it down, the attachment above seems to be
the problem. This crashes all Mozilla versions I've tried (up to 2000-01-27-15)
on WinNT.
And yes, this is a good reason for hating FrontPage :)

Fixed the problem that arised due to context mismatch ( sink vs parser ).
