Guess what? There's a lot more crappy HTML out there than I thought.
While testing beta 3, in which both bugs are fixed, I constantly run into
*empty* documents on the Web -- that is, documents that do not correctly
end their comments or <HEAD> sections.
The release announcement follows:
----------
NCSA Mosaic for X version 2.5 beta 3 is available for public beta testing.
This version is a *BETA* and is not intended for use by non-beta testers.
The new features of release 2.5 include:
o Common Client Interface for external application control via TCP/IP
o Hierarchical nested hotlists stored in HTML
o HTML support for tables, subscript, superscript, and underline
o Kiosk mode

o Bug fixes
