Just tested on Windows XP Professional (fully patched) + IE SP1 and experienced the same problem.
The first time I opened the page memory usage could be seen on Task Manager but the machine still responded. The second time the machine became unresponsive.

Are you certain this is a vuln in Firefox? On W2K SP4 fully patched: I can verify that opening that page in Firefox 0.9.2 causes VM to balloon. However, I get almost identical results opening the same page in IE 6sp1, and can cause excessive VM consumption by opening little.bmp referenced in your page in MS Paint. st3ng4h _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
