Tested on following browsers on Red Hat Linux 8.0, i386:
galeon-1.2.6-0.8.0: Consumes 100% CPU but continues to respond to
events.
kdebase-3.0.3-14 (Konqueror): No effect
mozilla-1.0.1-26: Consumes 100% CPU, stops responding to events (or
takes overly long to respond -- I didn't wait more than a couple of
minutes).
netscape-communicator-4.79-1: No effect.
