From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001209
BuildID:    cvs-12/10/00

When I visit this page and those under it, mozilla starts taking up 90-95% of
the CPU and grows to something like 100Mb of memory. This brings system
performance to a crawl. I have no idea what the problem is but I did notice that
as the memory usage grows the debugging output seems to have many WEBSHELL += in
it. Instead of the normal <10 webshells, I have something like 240 webshells.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Visit this web page and watch both the debugging output and mozilla's memory usage.

Actual Results:  Page loads like most other pages but mozilla and then the
overall system become more and more sluggish until mozilla is totally unusable
and I have to kill it to get control of my system back.

Expected Results:  The page loads and doesn't kill my system.

Tried it with JS enabled and disabled.

Note its the page after you click on the Proceed Link (and yes theres nudity Whoohoo!! :)

I will refrain from making Spaceball jokes about Sucking Memory :)

The problem here is that the source of the page
(http://imalchemy.com/Tony.Ryan/frame.html) is:

<html>

<head>

<title>Beauty/Reality</title></head>

<frameset COLS="135, 576 *" FRAMEBORDER=no BORDER="0">

<frameset ROWS="100%, *">

<frame SRC="mainfrm.htm" NAME="mainfrm" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="3"
SCROLLING="NO">
<frame src="intro.html"></frameset>


<frameset ROWS="100%, *">

<frame SRC="intro.html" NAME="view_window" MARGINWIDTH="3" MARGINHEIGHT="3">
<frame src="frame.html"></frameset>
<noframes>
Sorry, this document can be viewed only with Netscape Navigator version 2.0 or
later. <a href="intro.html">Take this link</a> to the first page of Beauty/Reality.
</noframes></frameset></html>

Note that one of the frames is "frame.html" -- this causes an infinite recursion.
