At http://www.start.com.au/
The second frame (which is set to a size of zero [0]),
has a "refresh" tag in it.
This causes it to automatically load a Microsoft VBScript page after 31 sec.
That VBScript has an error in it.

So, we actually have 2 problems.
1) http://www.start.com.au/ has some "bad code".
2) Arachne should not crash when it gets this code within a frame set.
I was able to see what was happening by turning frames "off".
With frames "on"..... the first try it simply froze-up-tight.
Complete lock-up including keyboard not functional.
(even the CapsLock, ScrollLock and NumLock keys were "locked")
The second try.....
I was kicked out of Arachne to the infamous "Error loading font file"
message. CapsLock, ScrollLock and NumLock keys worked OK.. but nothing
else worked. (had to press the reset button)
