I came across something really similar to this at http://www.javascript.com. It looks to me as though animated gif's are not looping. Could this have been broken in an attempt to fix bug #5030, in which they hit the server each time they loop? This is on 1999070308 on Win '98.
I hate this. A new bug has cropped up that causes a crash (access violation) before this bug can be addressed. I'll enter a new bug and make this one dependent on it. -pn

The new bug is described in bug#11761. -pn
This animated gif is displaying fine now on nt. I'll be testing the other platforms. -pn

Umm...what in particular is the common bug? In this case, it's not crashing after a full iteration, but I (thought) was crashing after a particular, and potentially corrupted frame.

odd. This worked yesterday. After yesterday's changes it stops working. I'll reopen. -pn
