I tried going to;
www.something.com (15 characters not counting dots)
www.somethi.com (13 characters not counting dots, 15 counting dots)
www.someh.com (11 characters not counting dots, 13 counting dots)
and none caused a crash. All failed to resolve. So then I tried the
original submissions;
www.socois.cool
www.pcorner.org
blahd.yahoo.com
and none caused a crash. All failed to resolve.
I did this all in the same browser window, one after the other, and then
went to www.microsoft.com and the page came up properly.
I would suggest that there is something else going on in Ralph
LoBianco's system that I can't reproduce here on mine.
