At the least, this particular anchor in that page is crashing me:
<A HREF="/" TARGET="_top"><IMG USEMAP="#orgmap" BORDER="0" SRC ALT></A>
Playing with it to narrow down, it looks like the USEMAP bit is the
problem. I tried with only the first few lines of the file, so it
may be something else, but that's what it looks like here.
$ uname -a
Linux odin 2.2.10 #1 Mon Jun 21 06:25:02 EDT 1999 i586 unknown
A file consisting solely of:
<IMG USEMAP="#foo"> will crash.
<IMG USEMAP="foo"> will not crash.
