CPU pegged for archive message from Google search using Firefox

[CRPence <CRPbottle@xxxxxxxxx>]

  The following link gives me no problems.
http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-l/200608/msg00004.html

  :: Skip to [][][] bottom of this message.  Between there and here 
is just my debugging the problem.

  However from the Google search [first link] noted below, if I 
open the link identifying that same message [by flyover, the same 
URL as above] or even choose to open the cache link, my CPU climbs 
to 100% using Mozilla Firefox 3.0.8.

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&num=100&q=ATCONTXT+&btnG=Search

  If I locate that message using a less verbose search, then there 
is no issue; the first link is rewritten as the second.  In this 
case the obviously missing "&lr=&as_qdr=all"; not sure what &lr and 
&as_qdr refer to, or if indeed that might be origin.?  Any ideas?

http://www.google.com/search?q=ATCONTXT
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&num=100&q=ATCONTXT&btnG=Search

  Also reproduces... Seems narrowed to as_qdr or the '+' so far...
http://www.google.com/search?as_qdr=all&q=ATCONTXT+&btnG=Search

  Also reproduces... Arghh! Seems that /plus/ symbol causes it!
http://www.google.com/search?q=ATCONTXT+

  Now if only I could figure out where that character came from.  I 
do recall an intermediate search where I had some "OR" criteria 
added, but I do not recall how I got back to the search without.  I 
thought it was back in the _Advanced search_ panel.

  Yepper!  When I removed the extra criteria from the search using 
the Advanced search page, the text in the URL after I clicked the 
Advanced search button from that page then had the extraneous '+' 
symbol.  So two questions remain.  1> Any idea why the '+' symbol is 
causing the CPU issue? 2> Is there a /report problem/ link for 
Google search [the search /quality form/ seems somewhat off-base 
given its _list of concerns_ limited choices, where all seem to 
relate only to content, but perhaps that is the best option]?

  I guess I will use that available feedback, but still curious if 
there is anything else. I guess I will also include a link to this 
message in the archive.
