I have verified this in Mozilla 1.0.1 (Gecko/20020826) on Windows XP Prof.
SP1.  The browser stops responding, but can be closed without brute force.

Hi, I'm new here so I don't know if I posted this in the correct
list...

I've found out that some simple CSS-code can crash Netscape 6 and 7.

This is a simple html-page containing this code:

<html>
<body>
 <div style="position:absolute;">

 <div style="position:absolute; overflow:scroll">

 </div>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

Was this already known?
