Are you certain this is a vuln in Firefox?

On W2K SP4 fully patched: I can verify that opening that page in 
Firefox 0.9.2 causes VM to balloon.

However, I get almost identical results opening the same page in IE 
6sp1, and can cause excessive VM consumption by opening little.bmp 
referenced in your page in MS Paint.
