To: OS2-L@NIC.SURFNET.NL
I just followed a link that is on the story at today's (7/18) www.news.com
story about the netscape java script bug. I followed a link on that page
to here http://www.aleph2.com/tracker/tracker.cgi what happened to me was
the browser crashing. I was wondering if this happens to anyone else.

It does exactly what the author states. Amazing what information is passed
from Netscape to the host and back. Anyway, on my machine a window popped up
with the word [INFECT] which is the JAVA application that is running.
Be advised that this application has crashed several systems (Trap 0D and 0E)
and just plain locked up others.
