Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.20.3-5+b1
Severity: important

I have iceweasel 3.0.7-1 installed..

Launching the link:

http://www.pansydivision.com/Pansy_Division/Home.html

... in iceweasel causes gnome-panel to crash until the page is closed. The "title"
tag in the page appears invalid.

================================================================================

================================================================================

Now as much of an abuse of HTML as this is, and as much as iceweasel shouldn't
just be sending data willy-nilly through in its window title info to gnome-panel
window list - I'm taking a guess that this is what's crashing gnome-panel.

A dodgy title in an app window shouldn't bring the whole thing crashing down
(perhaps it's something else, but relaunching the same link triggered the crash
several times) and I can't see anything else obvious in the page that gnome-panel
would learn or care about...
