That's a new one to me. In version 2 of Navigator I created a list of
"about:" eggs by looking at ASCII strings in the executable. Here's
my list, for what little it's worth:
about:mozilla
about:authors
about:splash
about:license
about:plugins
about:global
about:image-cache
about:memory-cache
about:blank
about:hype
about:nothinginparticular
about:1994
