Awwwww.  Went to fix this one and found it already working with builds pulled during the
closed trees on the morning of 15 July 99.  It's not locking up on either Windows or Linux,
with both window.open and window.openDialog.

Note that HTML opened as chrome won't size correctly -- that's because intrinsic sizing is
fired from the XUL document, so windows opened as HTML chrome won't size themselves.
Hyatt thinks he can fix that, but for now, it seems like we could recommend you just use
XUL for chrome.  But if you have to use HTML, you'll have to give the window a hard-wired
size when you open it.

But at least it's not hanging.

Oops.  Works on Windows, not Linux.  Reopening. (Mac status is unknown; I can't run that right now.)
