A colleague came up with the following deadly typo when using the UCSC Genome Browser:
chr:1-1111111 This provokes a 22.5 MB disambiguation response from the browser, starting with: "SwitchGear Genomics Transcription Start Sites CHR1_P0001_R1 at chr1:10465-10465 CHR1_P0001_R2 at chr1:11874-11874" ... and ending in: "mySQL error 1153: Got a packet bigger than 'max_allowed_packet' bytess" Warning: this response (presumably its size) kills the latest Safari on Mac (latest Firefox on Mac survives).
