Details

The following HTML, which is the sum total of the test page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0//EN"> <TITLE>Mozilla Tests: Unclosed Labels</TITLE> <P>This document has an unclosed label. It starts... <LABEL> here. This document will probably never load. ...never displays. The browser gets as far as reading the <TITLE>, but then locks up, waiting, presumably, for the </LABEL>. (This should _never_ happen. Whatever it is that is blocking the rendering should NEVER be able to block. Supporting incremental rendering means that the document should always be displayable, regardless of how much of the document has been parsed/received/had frames created for.)

This is fixed in my tree- awaiting an opportunity to check it in. Don't test this until next week though.
Whiteboard: 6/21 apparently the fix did not make it into today's build. Will try again later.
