[CALUG] (solved) konqueror is funny (crash)

The fact that a single malformed webpage can crash a browser
is proof positive that that browser has a bug.

I didn't think of it till this morning--too late, but I was going to
save that page and come up with as small of a page as I could that
would crash Konqueror and put it on my own site to preserve it.
Then I would post a bug report referencing it.

And what a bug report that would be!  Here, just visit this site
and Konqueror immediately crashes.

But I briefly searched <https://bugs.kde.org/query.cgi>, and found
that at least one other site has been reported already.
Warning!  This crashes Konqueror: <http://www.webmail.us/testvirus>

It was reported in this bug report:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126636
