Strange behavior in version1.0

[Malcolm Sanders]

I am running OmniWeb v 1.0 on black hardware using a proxy  
connection to a CERN httpd server. Earlier today I tried to follow a  
link to http://nox.cs.du.edu:8001/~anon0f5f/weathernet.html.  The  
result was that my machine seized up completely!  Actually that's  
not exactly true; the machine seized up after apparently downloading  
the second inline image at that link. My rotating stop sign  
stopped. Much disk noise was evident, and I had to perform a dirty  
restart.  This happened twice in a row (I don't learn from mistakes  
very well :-).)

On the third try I turned off inline images, and looked at the html  
source. The offending image was line.gif, which I would have  
thought would be pretty innocuous.

Is there anyone out there brave enough to try this themselves and  
tell me if it's a universal problem, or just my problem?
