User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20060607 Debian/1.7.12-1.2

It might have trouble handeling the ` character.  Browser just freezes and eventually linux will force you to kill the process.  it happens if you type it in as soon as the browser has loaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. load mozilla
2. type in http://www.goo`
3. get naked!

Actual Results:  
browser freezes immediately, if there is a drop down box then it will freeze too.

Expected Results:  
not entirely sure

i cant imagine anyone actually wanting to type it in to do anything useful.  i did it by accident and it killed my browser session.

I tried to play the "beale or no beal" game on the eastenders website, mozilla did not like it, but i left the broken window open and played the jam buster game.  after a few highly intense jam busting soirees i tried to do a google search and somehow accidentally typed the fateful ` character in by accident

Does the bug also occur in the official SeaMonkey 1.0.6 build?

I'm sorry, i can't test it on these machienes.  it is a university pc so we cannot install new software and i don't have linux installed at home.

OK... please report the problem to Debian then.  Mozilla 1.7.x is no longer supported.
