Worksforme with a 3 days old SeaMonkey trunk build (Mac OS 10.3.9).

Hmmm, tested a bit more and it seems that it is not as reproductible as I first
thought. After a dozen of tries, Firefox has succeeded to display the page and
let me scroll in it. But it still crashes sometimes as I keep scrolling the
document.

Reporter, please send a talkback report of the crash and tell us the incidient
id. It can be found by starting talkback.exe within the components folder. Also
try to reproduce it with a current build, 1.7.10 is already out and even current
nightly builds of SeaMonkey are recommended.

Okay, tested with SeaMonkey 1.7.10 on Windows 2000 : same problem : browser
crash just after loading the page. Send a tallback report.

Okay, tested with latest seamonkey nightly build for Win32. Seems to work fine.
Maybe, better to wait for a newer Firefox version.
