Might be a now HTML incompability of this page, but it looked quite clean to me.
Also tried to shift-reload (to avoid the webcache)

I'd also rather have an incorrect page in such case then nothing.
IE 5.0.3314.1000 renders it fine, but also seems to require some time

Severity: Unknown, because I don't know how much pages like this there are. Left
on default

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load http://uncle-enzo.linuxmafia.com/~rick/essays/forking.html
2.  
3.

Actual Results:  Empty screen.

Expected Results:  Show a nice description about why GPL'ed projects won't fork.

confirming Gecko/20010628

title tag is wrong - has one "smaller as" char too much

(TITLE)(Fear of Forking, original version(/TITLE)

removing it, works fine here

The HTML is bogus (naked '<' usage), but we seem to be unable to recover from it
when this happens in the title.  Compare to a case where the '<' is used in body
-- stuff up to the next tag is lost, but then things start appearing again.

Bugs targeted at mozilla1.0 without the mozilla1.0 keyword moved to mozilla1.0.1 
(you can query for this string to delete spam or retrieve the list of bugs I've 
moved)

This bug has been marked "future" because the original netscape engineer working 
on this is over-burdened. If you feel this is an error, that you or another
known resource will be working on this bug, or if it blocks your work in some way
 -- please attach your concern to the bug for reconsideration.
