[ale] X Windows large font exploit

[jcphil at mindspring.com (Jim Philips)]

The Register is publishing news of a DOS exploit of X Windows. If a Web site 
requires that X Windows use especially large fonts, Mozilla will bring the 
box to halt when it tries to load the fonts. The details are here:

If you want to test the exploit, this site will bring your machine to a halt 
(use at your own risk!):
