From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020530
BuildID:    2002053012

Take a page containing a link such as this: <a href="whatever"
target="top">whatever</a>, and another browser instance containing several
frames, one of which is named "top". Clicking the link in browser instance #1
opens the resource in that frame in instance #2. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a page with a link targeted at "whatevername".
2. Make page with several frames, one called "whatevername".
3. Open both in Mozilla.
4. Clicking on the link in window #1 opens the resource in #2.

Actual Results:  The linked resource opens in a frame of another browser window.

Expected Results:  The targeting should be reduced to the same browser instance.
Since there was no target called "whatevername" in browser #1, the link
should've opened in the same window.
Actually, it's quite legal to target a link to a frame in a different window. 
So this is correct behavior...
Might be related to or even a duplicate of bug 103638
