Hi,

while reading LWN with galeon, I encountered this URL:

  info:/gzip

and clicked on it.  Then gnome-help processes were started in a loop
which resulted in a big number of opened windows.  If I had not
switched rapidly to a text console and used killall to get rid of all
the processes/windows I would have lost my X session and some work I
was doing.

To reproduce the problem, just type:

  gnome-help info:/gzip

and be prepared :>.
