Here's the html for that page:
<html>
<p>Bipin Gautam</p>
<img width=9999999 height=9999999
src="crazy.jpg"
</html>
<!-- text below generated by server. PLEASE REMOVE
--></object></layer></div></span></style></noscript></table></script></applet><script
language="JavaScript"
src="http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mc/mc.js"></script><script
language="JavaScript"
src="http://geocities.com/js_source/geov2.js"></script><script
language="javascript">geovisit();</script><noscript><img
src="http://visit.webhosting.yahoo.com/visit.gif?us1092232234"
alt="setstats" border="0" width="1" height="1"></noscript>
<IMG SRC="http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=76001067&t=1092232234" ALT=1
WIDTH=1 HEIGHT=1>
Ignoring the rubbish after the closing tab:
<html>
<p>Bipin Gautam</p>
<img width=9999999 height=9999999
src="crazy.jpg"
</html>
No head element
No body element
img element is not terminated
img size parameters are stupidly large, expecially as the image is a 203
x 152 24 bpp jpg.
I imagine resizing a 203 x 152 image to a 9999999 x 9999999 display is
part of the problem.
I imagine that mapping that display object size to the actual screen
resolution might be another part of it.
I guess the totally malformed html may not be helping.
Servers that further break malformed documents can't be helping either.
