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.

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.
