On my site, when the user has the discussion toolbar enabled, IE will
crash with the following error:

Application popup: iexplore.exe -Application Error : The exception
unknown software exception (0xc00000fd) occurred in the applictaion at
location 0x771217a6.

The strange thing is this issue goes away if we ask the user to close
the discussion toolbar. This appears to occur across difference IE
versions and OS.

One other note, in the code we use window.setTimeout("function()",10).
When I remove the setTimeout or change the time interval, the browser
does not crash anymore. In other environments, with similiar code, we
can use setTimeout but IE does not crash either

Any ideas on why this happens? Thanks

Perhaps it doesn't like doing what you're asking for - 100 times a second.
Maybe you should give a browser a break, once in a while :)
