The following web page causes links to hang. I let it sit for about 10
minutes. It's also eating memory during this time.
http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/mangleme/gallery/links_die1.html
This is CAN-2004-1616:
Links allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption)
via a web page or HTML email that contains a table with a td element and a
large rowspan value,as demonstrated by mangleme.
