This works for me as well. Now to find the culprit. The block below is the
only JavaScript on the main Slashdot page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JAVASCRIPT">
<!--
now = new Date();
tail = now.getTime();
document.write("<IMG 
SRC=http://209.207.224.245/Slashdot/pc.gif?/slashhead.inc,"+
tail + " WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1><BR>");
//-->
</SCRIPT>

If I insert those three lines into a custom page on my local index page,
Netscape dies as expected. I suppose we could see what that CGI program is
spitting back at us, maybe I'll do that later on...
