The following handy little piece shows a minor problem with netscape and
most other browsers.. they aren't cautious about special files -eg

        <A href="file:/dev/mouse">Click here to break your mouse</A>

and of course /dev/zero ... fortunately it seems on most systems netscape
core dumps or is using mmap and thus maps forever(almost) then I would
presume if you had the patience 8) dumps neatly.
