    By putting an extra slash at the end of http:// tag will crash your opera browser. Tested on version 3.21
    
    e.g.
    http:///opera.nta.no
    
    Seems to be save on Netscape and MSIE, they just generate an error message. ftp:/// tag does not crash any of the browsers.
    
    OPERA caused an invalid page fault in
    module OPERA.EXE at 015f:004c5476.
