What version of kfm are we talking about here ?  I cannot duplicate this in the
current version of kfm (1.167.2.21) that just shiped with KDE 1.1.2.  I
navigated all the links on that site without any crashes.  I also tried it
later after the pages were cached and I still could not duplicate the problem.  
Can you please try it with a current version of kfm to see if the problem still
occurs.

Well, I consider the "style=" tag inside the table to be a little be odd just
because I do not see its usefullness in this particular case.

line # 25
    <td valign=middle align=center rowspan=2 width="100%"
      style="background: #ffffff url(pics/all_shot_banner.gif)">&nbsp;</td>

What is the purpose of using CSS in this case ?  On the down side though it
prevents kfm and older versions of Navigator from displaying the page as
intended.  In fact,  the latest version of Netscape displays exactly the same
it would have if you have not used style sheet :

    <td valign=middle align=center rowspan=2 width="100%">
      <img src="pics/all_shot_banner.gif">&nbsp;</td>

Ummm ... why does this sound familiar ?  Could you please try browsing the
site after clearing the cache ...
