 Browse crashes immediately when browsing www.birthjunkie.com

 This crash seems to be because the banner ad at the top is 10000x1354,
 scaled down to 500x60 for display.  10000x1354x3Bpp = 40 MB.

 The crash is not a OOM, since nothing appears in dmesg.  I do not know the
 mechanism of the crash.

 The image in question is http://www.birthjunkie.com/diapers_ad.jpg, but
 this link cannot be used to download the image, due to unusual access
 controls.  The image can only be downloaded as an element of the page in
 question.  If you wish to examine it, you may right-click and select "save
 image" in FF2.0.  The JPG is 1.2MB.
