long url overflow in IE6 public preview on WinME

[Joseph Mallett <jmallett () NewGold NET>]

Requesting the url:
http://srcsys.org//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

either by entering it into the address bar or redirection to it (via a 
CGI) causes IE6 public preview [on a winme machine with all windowsupdates 
installed as of yesterday] to crash with an "abnormal program exit".

I don't have a good enough knowledge to track down this overflow, etc., 
but I have emailed Microsoft with this information, and thought I would 
mention it here, if it might help speed up the process of finding the bug, 
finding out if it is a possible threat, etc.

Thanks,
