Hi all, I'm one of the Konqueror developers, and I heard about the possible buffer overflow issue. I just tried http://fish.analog.org/~fish/crash_netscape2.html and crash_me.html, with konqueror (from current CVS, but that shouldn't make any difference), and I didn't get any crash - neither konqueror nor X crashed. I discussed this with the author of the forms code, and we are sure that this HTML can't generate any crash in konqueror, since we are using QString everywhere - a class that takes care of memory allocation for strings. A buffer overflow can't happen with it. If X crashed for Arthur, it must be some other bug (konqueror has much improved since KDE 2.0.1 already). Yours, David.
