I'm able to reproduce this bug on Mozilla Build ID: 2000060208 on a PowerMac G3 
running Mac OS 8.6. Finder gave me a type 2 error.

From http://members.aol.com/rustleware/Codes_1_to_30.html:
ID=02 Address Error
The Motorola 68000 microprocessor can access memory in increments of one byte (8 
bits), one word (16 bits), or one long word (32 bits). The
microprocessor can access a byte of information at an odd or even memory address. 
But it must access a word or long word at an even memory
address. So, when the microprocessor attempts to read or write a word or long 
word at an odd address, you see this error. Since that's a 50/50
proposition when running random code, this one shows up quite often.

Also adding crash keyword.

Same stack trace when clicking back to return to the front page after reading
a news story. Marking dup of bug 40116.
