Subject: New Microsoft Internet Explorer mshtml.dll Denial of Service?

So why is it that visiting the page directly from MSIE
from html like this;
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<a href="http://www.galad.com/extras/cg/cg.htm">crash</a>
</body>
</html>

I get no crash?
But clicking through from outlook I do?
Ie; clicking from outlook = crash
clicking from IE = no crash
clicking from outlook afterward = crash
