I'm not sure I follow you on this, at least in this case. Somebody even commented in the bug "This is a topcrasher with recent MozillaTrunk builds on Win2k, XP and NT" so it's very unlikely to be a "single crasher", unless I'm misinterpretting what this means. Since I'm on Win98, it isn't limited to any particular Win version, either. The number of duplicate bugs also indicate it's not a couple of isolated incidents. > > The question you really need to ask is two fold > 1) How many people does this affect? I'm curious how many talkback reports were generated from this myself, but it appears to potentially affect anybody running Windows. That's probably a sizable number. If there's more to it than just the O/S, like a particular graphics card or something, there's no info on it. > 2) How badly does it affect these people? (e.g. how frequently) My personal experience was virtually every session. Guess that's the price I paid for my browsing habits. I gather from the bug report that there are plenty of other folks with the similar habits.
