31550 - Browser freezes on complex text only html file

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 18480

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[majix]

Overview Description:
Browser renders about 1/3 of the html file, then stops but still displays 
"Document: done" on the status bar. If I use the horizontal scrollbar on the 
page the browser freezes completely and I have to use control-alt-del (several 
times) to shut down the application.

The file is a largish (~420k) text only html file with a lot of font color 
changes.

Netscape 4.7 renders the page in a little over 5 seconds while IE4.0 takes a 
good 10 minutes on my P200/64MB machine.

Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Enter http://rio.dhs.org/penguin.html in the location bar
2) After the page has apparently stopped loading, move the horizontal scrollbar

Actual Results: 
Browser stops responding and must be explicitly killed.

Expected Results:
Page should render to the finish, not stop at about 1/3 and not freeze the 
browser.

Tested builds, date & Platform:
2000/03/09/13 on Win98
2000/03/11/15 (newest as of writing) on Win98

I have to comment first, that page is SO NEAT =)

I couldn't even get it to finish without crashing.
(BuildID:2000031306, win98)

Here's two dumps i got from the crash on that page.
Windows 98 dump:

Marking confirmed, I'm sure you gen get some die-hard linux fan to fix this bug 
before beta1 (just kidding, look at the url and you'll see what i mean). What 
component do I put this in? Leaving browser-general for now. Adding crash to 
keyword.
