IE6 can be crashed with a single line of code

I know it sounds weird, but feel free to try it out. Click here if you are using IE6 and if you’re willing to experience a full browser crash.

This is the piece of code embedded in that page:

< style >*{position:relative}< /style >< table >< input >< /table >

The weird thing is that the code renders correctly in Firefox, Opera, Safari and even IE7, but when accessed with IE6, it pops in a fatal error mshtml.dll. Special thanks to Hamachiya2 (a Japanese blogger) who actually discovered this.
