On my 4.0 box running IE 4.01 as shell, it Dr. Watsoned explorer and the
shell quite briskly, then came back up with no problem. Web access was fine
too.

|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).
