Not that Netscape doesn't do it too. I was using a copy of netscape for
Solaris x86 a few years ago and it bus errored every time the the string
microsoft.com appeared in a URL. It wasn't the site, you could type in
any of the IP addresses and it would work fine until you hit a page with
an absolute refrence instead of a relative refrence (causing you to stop
using the IP address in favor of the domain name) at which point it
would bus error again.
