PROBLEM

    Mike Boto found following.  Netscape Navigator for Win95/98 has  a
    hard time with  .asp extensions.   Mike found that  after entering
    the hexadecimal  value 0xAAAAA....(he  put in  800 A's  just to be
    sure)  after  the  http://hostname.com/dosomething.asp?,  Netscape
    crashes with the following error:

        NETSCAPE caused an invalid page fault in
        module <unknown> at 0084:41414141.
        Registers:

    The user is forced  to reboot to get  rid of the messagebox  (well
    that's always how it is with Netscape errors).  It may be possible
    to execute arbitrary commands with.

SOLUTION

    Nothing yet.
