I have provoked a variety of odd behaviour including web pages not
displaying, text in text boxes not being drawn and refusals to quit by first
maxing out the size of NetSurf's dynamic area. Browse a few image-intensive
sites until the Netsurf dynamic area has crept up to 128Mb - or whatever the
maximum size is on your system, then see if the problem starts to appear.
I'm on a 512Mb Iyonix, BTW, and the behaviour may well be different on
systems like RISC PCs and Kinetics, and 128Mb Iyonixes.

about A sending information to B while ensuring that
C cannot read it. In DRM, B and C are the same person.
