    All...
    	Wrote this little thing in a few spare mins. I'm no use with
    javascript or webbased coding, so I'm sure there's much more you could do
    with this. Anyway, attached is a .html that crashes all the machines I
    tested it on - be prepared to loose explorer.exe if you run it. I guess this
    is a working exploit/bug (and a really annoying one if it starts appearing
    on the web), so if someone wants to forward this to the appropriate people
    (bugtraq? microsoft?) then go for it... Also, if we could narrow down
    exactly what it takes to fix it in the current versions, that would be good
    too.
    
    enjoy...
