 Browse will crash if two things are done in order:[[BR]]
   1) the window is scrolled down at least once, and[[BR]]
   2) the zoom-in button is pressed in ''View''


 I have tested this combination of actions in a variety of contexts, with
 100% consistant results (it always crashes):[[BR]]
   - text files read out of the filesystem[[BR]]
   - text files read off the web[[BR]]
   - html files read out of the file system (from the default
 homepage)[[BR]]
   - html files read off the web[[BR]]
   - connected to the internet via WPA2, and not connected to the internet
 (i.e. empty ''networks.cfg'' file at boot)[[BR]]
   - immediatly after restart, and then also after working with other
 activities[[br]]
   - doing the scroll by: using the (x) button on the minitor en casing,
 dragging the scroll bar, or clicking the empty scroll space to "page down"


 The crash does NOT seem to take place if the window is scrolled all the
 way back up to the top, however.  If the window is top-aligned, then the
 crash seems not to happen.
