Crash IE with shell://:

All...
        Wrote this little thing in a few spare mins. I'm no use with
javascript or webbased coding, so I'm sure there's much more you could do
with this. Anyway, attached is a .html that crashes all the machines I
tested it on - be prepared to loose explorer.exe if you run it. I guess this
is a working exploit/bug (and a really annoying one if it starts appearing
on the web), so if someone wants to forward this to the appropriate people
(bugtraq? microsoft?) then go for it... Also, if we could narrow down
exactly what it takes to fix it in the current versions, that would be good
too.

enjoy...
