Visiting the following link in Firefox causes the entire OS to lock up.

On three separate attempts, a slightly different result appeared:
- GUI froze with black screen and frozen mouse cursor.  Alt-SysRq keys not responsive.
- GUI froze on current display. Numlock and scrolllock lights flashing. Alt-SysRq keys not responsive.
- GUI froze then faded to light blue. Could sync and reboot with Alt-SysRq keys.

This is a serious issue as it consistently causes a kernel panic/crash
and resulted in data loss on at least one attempt.

I tried to reproduce the issue in a VirtualBox VM, but it worked fine
there.
