I am using the proprietary Nvidia drivers, and the file does have some
rather long lines.

It did occur to me that the length of the lines might be what was
triggering it, so I replaced all the characters in the file with 'x',
and this didn't trigger the bug.

This surprised me somewhat, since obviously to crash X it needed to be
something outside FF.  it only happened when I opened the file in FF
though, and not in anything else.

I presume this is a known bug that I couldn't find? :)

Cheers,

Doug.
