I tried it from my Win98 (4.10.1998) machine, running MSIE 5
(5.00.2314.1003) and I too got  a GPF.

Tried it from a couple of Win95 (OSR/2, no patches) machines with MSIE

5.0,

no crash either... if anyone can replicate this I'd be curious to know.

How

have you gone about testing this? Which platform(s)? Win98 only?



I tried it from a Windows 95 OSR2 (v4.0.1111) machine with MSIE5
(v5.00.2014.0216) and
about 5 seconds after adding
http://web.cip.com.br/flaviovs/sec/favicon/index.html to my
favourites I got a gpf in USER.EXE just as Flavio had stated...
