 I did $ sudo olpc-update joyride-2301

 I have Q2E12.

 I can often crash both Browse and the sugarized Firefox by typing the
 following into the location box:

 originalhooters.com/girls.cfm

 Browse usually just freezes the XO, requiring power off/on to recover.

 The sugarized Firefox produces a brief console terminal display that says
 something like "fatal X server error, caught signal 11", then it
 apparently reboots X-Windows, and Sugar restarts.

 The website changes daily, and often has Flash content.
 It has been an acid test ever since I got my XO.
 This defect is not new to joyride-2301.
 A computer should not be crashable by any website.
 Unsupported features like Flash content should just be ignored without
 crashing.
