<--note: Hostile site!!...;-]

On my Windows '98 box hitting the referenced site caused Explorer to GP,
but I ok'd it and everything remained hunky doory (the current IE
process was blown away, but my desktop etc... was fine).

On my NT box, hitting the referenced site caused the DrWatson process to
be invoked which drove the box to 100% for 25 minutes before I killed
it. I could still work on anything else I wanted, but that process just
sat there endlessly at 100% (and of course IE was munged).

Cheers,
Russ
