I get "http://www.nonsense.nonsense not found" dialog (normal) but no crash.

Be careful with saying "works for me" on this bug. If you have a proxy,
generally the proxy will serve you an HTML page saying that the url is not
valid, which is not an invalid url from Mozilla's point of view.

That said, I can't reproduce this on 2001060712/mac OS 9. But it happened a lot
in Mozilla 0.7 or 0.8, as I recall.
