If you tested it with Firefox 3 but not with Firefox 2, it may mean that the bug is already fixed in "trunk" code (SeaMonkey 1.1.x uses the same rendering engine as Firefox 2.0.0.x while SeaMonkey 2.0 alpha, which has just been released, uses the same engine as the alpha/beta versions of Firefox 3.1).

The problem with crashes in SeaMonkey 1.1 is that (IIUC) it has no crash reporter, due to licensing problems with the Talkback program, which is neither open-source nor Mozilla software. If you (or someone) could get a stack trace (maybe with Firefox 2) it might help the Mozilla devs determine what went wrong.

First of all, I want to say thank you to Tony Mechelynck, for the email.
After getting the message I downloaded the latest version of Seamonkey and installed it.
Tony, you are correct, the problem has been fixed. Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.17) Gecko/20080829 SeaMonkey/1.1.12, displays that page just fine. I even set that page as my start page.
My congrats to the developers.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
