1. The error is repeatable, but the values ("instruction", "memory" and
direction ("read" or "write") change each time.

2. Reboot is essential to clear what ever corruption leads to the loop (all
available CPU consumed).

The orginal URL (which I had trouble with) redirects to:

http://computerworld.co.nz/news.nsf/NL/6A53B1A107AF13A6CC256FCA001AA96C

On that URL, Firefox crashes without comment.

Hamish.

wfm with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.2; de-DE; rv:1.8b2)
Gecko/20050317 (Mozilla cvs trunk) and FF1.0.1

Reporter: Sorry but we are unable to reproduce the problem.
Run FF1.0.1 in the safemode (without extensions) and if you still crash submit a
Talkback crash report.
After that run firefox\components\talkback.exe manually and post the Talkback ID
from that crash in this bug.
