Warning: You are using IE7!

The following two links may cause IE7 to stop responding, either taking 100% CPU or continuously increasing memory usage: IE7 first-letter problem 1, IE7 first-letter problem 2. If the problem occurs IE7 must be killed.

They contain a very simple combination of absolute positioning, first-letter, and background. This is the relevant CSS of the first one:

p:first-letter {
	font-size: 2em;
}
p {
	position: absolute;
}
a {
	background-color: transparent;
}

and this the relevant HTML:

<p><a href="#">Two</a></p>
