Details

A host of flavorful, deterministic bugs emerges in attempting to load the above URL using a build downloaded from MozillaZine's nightly slurp on March 17, 1999 (the file is 1997 KB in sum). On a freshly booted system, viewer.exe refuses to load anything more than the banner .GIFs. In using a heavily tasked system, the binary amusingly contained the page in full, but exhibited display errors while attempting to scroll: the contents of following lines would overlap that of currently positioned lines, resulting in an interesting text smarsh. Other errors appear, but perhaps instead The Great Coders should also concern themselves with the refusal of the viewer to accept the PageDown key's input properly... (it will nobly attempt to scroll down, but return to it's current position).
