This is quite an old bug. It happens in rare cases if a site immediately
replaces itself with another one using JavaScript. So the bug only occurs if
JavaScript is enabled. The problem is that the EcmaScript engine already
deletes the old document, while the HTML Lexer is still busy parsing
it - crash.
Unfortunately, this bug can not be fixed until the next major release, which
will have a new dynamic layout engine and a different EcmaScript-Scheduler.
I'd like to add that this, while it certainly is a bug, only happens because
the site is so badly written. Using Javascript to replace a document with
another while loading is generally a bad idea.
As an immediate solution, you can use that site perfectly well if you
disable Javascript temporarily (F12, E)
