This problem is recretable on Mozilla 1.7 on both Windows and OS/2. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.load www.cnet.com
2.File -> Print Preview 

For local recreation I would be uploading a zip file which can be used.
  

Actual Results:  
Browser exit
Print Preview dialog is displayed here syaing that it is Preparing the Print
preview for ever. If we try closing this dialog the browser closes. 

Expected Results:  
Print Preview should be shown.

This site use a style sheet named all_ssa.css. This under cnet_files directory.
I have tried a local recreation by deleting  the following style(clear) form
all_ssa.css file to avoid the problem.  
 .clear {
clear:right;
}.

With Mozilla 1.8a5 build 2004102405 on WinNT4 Mozilla freezes with 100% CPU and
I have to kill it.

Minimal testcase needed

Attachment: Reduced testcase

This is a minimized testcase. With this testcase print preview open properly on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040616 on
Windows XP, but changing the paper orientation from Portrait to Landscape will
lead to hang.

The first testcase hangs both
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041028
and the latest Firefox branch.

The second testcase only hangs the latest Firefox branch.

I'll see if I can create a reduced testcase that also hangs the trunk.

The 3rd attacthed testcase is a little over 1KB and I expect that it could be
reduced further. It hangs both the trunk and firefox builds from 20041101 when
selecting print preview.
