From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.18 i686; en-US; m18) Gecko/20001227
BuildID:    2000122708

Starts loading page, fetches some data ... and stops for ever.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Just load the page.

Actual Results:  Hang.

Expected Results:  Read k5; enjoy.

Hangs m18 as well (impressive).

I ran mozilla --debug on my debug build of the same nightly. I couldn't isolate
the loop to anything nice and small. Every time I interrupted the thing it was
in a different place deep in the code, and I couldn't walk thru for long enough
to see it looping.

Anyhow it *is* running code the whole time.
Use 'http://' in the URL field please. Updating.
For me, it does eventually load.  This is a duplicate of bug 61684 and/or bug 57966.
OK.

Using Linux 2000122821 on a K6-2 300Mhz 256Mb RAM, the page download size is
huge, and the browser appears to hang for several minutes. Eventually however it
DOES display the page.

Reporter: can you please try again, this time wait several minutes before
deciding this is a hang. It took I think about 5 mins to display here.

If this is simply a performance matter, please update the summary with,
"rendering takes very long time" and send to the Layout component for better
triaging of this bug. (There is another bug concerning table rendering taking a
very long time. Lemme see if I can grab it...)
Well done Mark, the latter one is exactly the one we want... Duping.

Indeed, the page does eventually load and render fine (happened much faster when
i plug in the power and go from 133 to 500 MHz).

I'm not convinced this is purely a layout issue -- perhaps it's just taking a
long time to download the data, and the fault belongs with the UI for hanging...

I think these bugs are all dupe of bug 60494: "Mozilla is extremly slow
rendering this page lots of <font> tags"

However, instead of reopening and reduping...
Verified dupe of bug 57966: "Extremely poor scalability on nested tables"
