Subject: Does your IE6 crash with these "URLs"?

Hi,

I have a question. I would like to know, if you can also crash 
IE6, when typing the following "URL":

ftp*://?

I have also tried from HTML like this:

<html>
<body>
<script language="JavaScript">
window.open("ftp://ftp*://?");
</script>
</body>
</html>

I could crash IE about a year ago with the first "URL" above 
and I've sent already various crash reports to Microsoft a 
long time ago. There was no reaction.

That's why I just want to ask if someone can check this for me. 
Maybe only my 3 PCs are weird.

Thanks,
Martin
