Problem: Galeon (v 1.2.5, Mozilla 1.0) crashes when loading some pages due
to problem with the favicon file.

Severity:  galeon crashes immediately

Reproducibility: always

Steps to reproduce:
1) Make sure browser automatically downloads favicon file (I can't remember
if there is a galeon option for this)
2) Point browser to:
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/festival


The problem seems to be the favicon.ico file:  
http://www.cstr.ed.ac.uk/favicon.ico

I get this error message when running galeon from command line:

** ERROR **: file io-ico.c: line 342 (DecodeHeader): assertion failed:
(State->LineBuf != NULL)
aborting...
Aborted

When I download the favicon.ico file and attempt to look at it with gthumb,
I get an *identical* error message.  Gimp refuses to open it ("Not a GIcon
file: favicon.ico!"), other conversion utilities either seg fault
(icontopbm) or fail with "failed: 32bit color depth not supported"
(icontoxbm, Sam Barker).  So it appears to be an unusual .ico file, with
32bit colour or something.   The only programs that can actually display
the file (that I've found so far) are gqview and Mozilla (it looks sensible
with them).

Because of the same thing happening in gthumb, this seems to be due to bugs
in another part of Gnome, but not sure quite where (haven't found it
reported anywhere). I'm putting it here as it does cause a major problem
here.  Sorry if that was wrong.
