OMG are Ebay are trying to hack DOS me?

Go to www.ebay.co.uk and click 'help' and their website tries to overflow your stack!!! WARNING! IE6 survives with 3 overflow errors but Firefox needed a PC reboot so don't try it with some important work unsaved on your PC.

So did I, I didn't need to reboot though, I just killed the process once the memory went past 500,000k.

really weird though, maybe email them or something.

Only seems to happen on ebay.co.uk nothing happens on ebay.com

If you lost some inportant work I wonder if they could be sued

I've tested XP 32bit, Vista 32bit, IE6, IE7, FF2 all updated with latest security packs and zone alarm + AVG running and it overflows the stack.

Worked fine here in FF2, but I have AdBlocker installed so I bet it's nothing to do with ebay themselves, but rather an overzealous advert.
