Intentionally pathological HTML at:

        http://www.xensei.com/users/ktakki/infinite/index.html

crashes Netscape on Micro$oft, dunno what it would do on unix.  It
repeatedly refreshes a page in a frame of that page, giving an
infinite-regression/hall-o´-mirrors effect.

Don't suppose that has much relevance for lynx, though.
