Details

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17pre11 i586; en-US; m18) Gecko/20000902
BuildID:    0000000000

I assume summary says it all. but,changing doctype to <!doctype html PUBLIC
"-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"> doesn't kill it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.just open the url
2.it dies
3.

Expected Results:
This is happening on the 2000090308 build. I'm experiencing the same problem, 
but on Windows. This bug should get the keyword 
regression, since this problem didn't exist in previous builds.

I tested the problem with different cases and can confirm for sure that the 
problem is due to the missing </li>

Following code will cause the crash if Doctype is set to strict.

<ul>
   <li>text
</ul>

It is valid HTML 4 strict, since the W3C Reference says closing LI-tag to be 
optional.
