Now fixed. Many thanks, John-Mark.

Thanks; I thought it must be something odd about the page, and it's 
good to have this confirmed by someone who understands these things. I 
imagine that the bug report and logfile are irrelevant, then. I hadn't 
noticed the vanishing memory, but that indeed does happen.

So it does!

So you can! Thanks. However, Windows Firefox makes it easier, alas.

With best wishes,

Peter.

Something on that page is fooling NS (r10731 here) in to thinking it 
is loading several million out of 25 objects. It also steals every 
last byte of RAM.

However, if you press the stop button it will stop trying to load the 
page, and you can then shift-click on the sample menu (PDF) to 
download it.

You'll then need to quit NS to get your memory back.
