Hi,

In a certain LUG I came across an indication
of a possible bug in Mozilla 0.9.2  Someone
was complaining his mozilla died when opening
this trivial html file:

  <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML//EN">
  <HTML>
  <HEAD>
  <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=x-user-defined">
  <TITLE>testing mozilla-092</TITLE>
  </HEAD>
  <BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" TEXT="#000000">
  <P><P><PRE>
  --
  <A HREF="http://www.ldffdfdfdfdfa.net/";>http://www.dfdbrttrt.net/</A> 
  Mozilla-0.9.2 is dying - blah.!?
  </PRE>
  <P>
  <HR>
  <P>
  </BODY>
  </HTML>

My mozilla does not crash on it, but takes about 15-20sec
to load it! Netscape 4.77 loads it in an instant, as one
might expect. The guy claimed that mozilla 0.9.1 has no
problems opening it either.

Before we report a bug, can someone more experienced in
html comment on that? I found that the problem is caused
by the META-field. When either one of HTTP-EQUIV=...  or  
CONTENT=... is removed, the file opens OK. Also, when
charset is, say, iso-8859-1

Thanks a lot,
Minko Markov
