No, it is even worse :-). There was a bug in the htmlize code
which cause the emulator to crash when the string to htmlize
was to big. I think the binary code created to much garbage, or
something. I rewrote it to use lists instead which made it much
faster and working.
What was even worse than that was that one of the examples, which
trigged this behaviour, contained a bit of a security hole (now
fixed as well), so perhaps it was a good thing that yaws.hyber.org
crashed :-)
