I believe this is just a syntax problem.  I don't get the behavior you're expecting (meta redirect) in either Firefox 2 or Firefox 3.  With the syntax you've provided, you are simply stuck in a redirect loop, but there is no crash apparent to me.

Try:
<meta http-equiv='Refresh' Content='0;url=http://www.naptel.com.ve'>

Removing security-sensitive flag.
