[Opera-Linux] Opera apparently hanging my X server

Every time I go to http://hnn.us/articles/47323.html, (a seemingly
innocuous enough website), my X server locks up (and uses ~100% of the
CPU) and I have to kill it (via login from another machine).  (If you
try this, obviously save your work first.  It's probably just me and
it'll probably work for you ... but what if it doesn't?  :)

Visiting that site on Firefox doesn't cause any problems, only Opera
(9.50).  I turned off my ad-killer proxy (junkbuster) and it still
hangs X.  Visiting that site in Opera 9.23 in Windows causes no
problems.

What can I do to troubleshoot this problem and/or provide more
information?  I'm running Debian 4.0, with some packages from
"testing" and "unstable".
