Explorer 6 WinXP SP 2 crashes on a combination of Strict Mode, padding, position: relative and white-space: nowrap if you set a page containing all these elements as your home page.
This is a complicated bug, please read the explanation carefully.
Test page. Workaround is included.

2This works to make it freeze:
Doctype Strict
ul { padding:5px; }
li { position:relative; padding:5px; display:inline; white-space:nowrap; }
If you use body and p, instead of ul and li, it happens inconsistently, so there is something more here.
Demo page is down, so here's one:

1This page triggers a freeze, not a crash for me (and makes spybot's protection stuff go insane, with about 50 notifications of registry changes. Presumably these are related.)
