Details

The following (extraction of netscape.com) results in an inline(i) frame that exceeds 10000000 points tall. It looks like arithmetic is being performed on NS_UNCONSTRAINED_SIZE. I found two area frames in netscape.com where this was the case, but only extracted the 1st one. abcnews.com exhibits the same behavior, so when you fix this, please try that site as well. <HTML> <BODY> <TABLE> <TR><TD><I><FONT COLOR="#CC0033" FACE="Arial">FOOBAR</FONT></I> </TABLE> </BODY> </HTML>

Can try running under purify? It doesn't do anything wrong for me on linux...

I rebooted my system and the problem went away (a log out was not good enough). This is very scary.
I've seen this sort of bizarre layout after our code has somehow corrupted the windows font datastructures.
