Object tag crashes Internet Explorer 4.0

The <OBJECT> tag seems to crash Internet Explorer 4.0 under Win95 (don't know about other versions/OS). The following: <OBJECT CLASSID=____More than 250 characters here____></OBJECT> opens a dialog box "IEXPLORE: ...illegal operation" and closes IE 4.0, or a blue screen with "Fatal exception 0E" and you need to reboot. I don't think this is exploitable(?), but it is a bad "feature".
