Okay. This is a degenerate case, but it does result in an infinite loop in
viewer. (using May28 win95 viewer)
I was looking at some HTML for a different bug, and "created" this bit of
HTML below by being a little careless with an emacs macro intended to simplify
<a> attributes. (i.e., <map><area></map> became <map><a href></map>)
[Actually, when I first saw this bug, I thought it was completely
meaningless, but then I re-read HTML4 and saw that <map> had been extended
to allow for %block; content.]
<HTML><BODY>
<MAP NAME="this">
<a href="somelink.html">foo
</MAP>
</BODY></HTML>
Note though that placing a %block; into the container avoids the hang.
<MAP NAME="this">
<p>
<a href="somelink.html">foo
</MAP>

The infinite loop was caused due to wrong tag closure in Gecko.
Fixed the problem.
Marking bug fixed.
