Description

[Steve Tuckner]

If you try to go this page it locks up the browser. Happens every time.

Comment 1

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

the site seems down. What buildid are you using?

Comment 2

Does not hang for me with linux build 2001040508, however the throbber keeps on
going and does not stop. Could be related to bug 53956.

It doesn't "lock" me up (opt. win2k build from trunk ~12pm last night). 

However, it does result in the throbber never stopping. The cause is that 
the page has two '<img src="file:///etc/whatever.gif">' elements. Those
don't exist on my hard drive :-], but this should probably be handled more
cleanly.

Not sure, but I think pavlov already has a similar bug, but if not, here's 
a condition that needs some love.

Dup of bug 74165, which even has a patch. Yo pavlov, you awake?
