No! This isn't the JPEG bug (got that one worked out after a about half an 
hour on other pages - just pressing ESC causes CAB to bypass).

No - this is definitely a page that has GIFs - they are there in the cache,
it's just that CAB locks up when trying to convert them after accessing them.

Please could someone else try it for me - at most it will only mean a reset
of your system and not a total crash! 8-)
