I discovered a Major Explorer 4 security hole!

From: "DirectDraw bug causes crashes", CNET News.com:

"This is a denial-of-service problem in that it prevents you from using the
system," said Microsoft product manager for platform marketing Joe Herman.
"[Ciucci's] applet is hanging the system, and it's a bug that we need to
correct.", Herman did not know when Microsoft would issue a patch.

Here is the info page with a sample:

Please, publish this and write articles about it.
