Here's the scoop:

http://news.com.com/Image+flaw+pierc...l?tag=nefd.top

I found a link THAT WILL MAKE SAFARI CRASH ON OS X 10.3.4. Be careful. And backup.

Click the link if you know what you are doing.

Anyways. It crashed Safari here. And may crash others too.

I couldn't find any thread about this subject. I searched for "png"

Now to figure out how the hell to use the newly released libpng.

Oh, great...

Ticking sound coming from a .pkg package? Don't let the .bom go off! Inspect it first with Pacifist. Macworld - five mice!

Indeed, it crashed the hell out of Safari and Mozilla.

Curse you, PNGs! How I love you so! Apple will probably get right on that. I think.

Haha - try right clicking it and downloading it to your Desktop making sure that "Show Icon Preview" is selected in view options!! Very funny indeed.

It is clearly stated in multiple locations that ALL application questions belong in the Software forum.
