a bit OT, but anyway, I also checked this and
Konqeror 3.0.0 hogs the CPU, but there was no segfault, the same effect (100% 
CPU utilization) is done by simply this:
<html><head></head>
<script language="JAVASCRIPT">
function foo() {
foo();
}
</script>
<input type="button" onClick="foo();" value="SMASH!"></input>
</html>

This situation is handled by both IE and Mozilla 1.0rc1 (no hogs there)
