Though I didn't check it closely, the offending lines are probably these:

There's a long-standing bug in JavaScript where you'll get a nasrty crash if
you close the output stream 
twice, or try to write to a closed output stream.  This, for example, will
likely GPF on you:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT = "JavaScript">
        document.write ("this is a test");
        document.close();
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
Hello, there!
</BODY>
</HEAD>

It crashes because you've closed the output stream with the document.close,
yet there was more HTML to output.  Remove the
double closes, and look very closely through your script to see if this is
the case.
