Wow, a simple big jpeg completely crashes (and reboots) Windows XP 
SP2 with all the latest patches when viewed in IE6.

-> DON'T GO with Internet Explorer if you don't want to crash: http:
//www.geocities.com/teh_kids/index.html (no problems whatsoever in 
Firefox or Opera).

Is this a known unpatched vulnerability?

Crashes my machine with firefox here.  It's not a Dumb IE6/XP exploit, 
it's a dumb ATI Windows driver exploit.  Please send your hate to the 
rightful recipient.
