MSIE crash-"feature"

Sorry if this is old news already, but IE has a rather interesting feature (tested with 6.0.2600.0000 whatever that means)

It crashes on very minimalistic code; check here:

It can be further stripped down and even sent as different MIME-type (see old posting about the MIME-"smartness in IE):

For those who want to test it with their HTML-compatible mail reader, send a mail to

    iecrash@x42.com
