Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Create a Form.

2. Add a Microsoft Web Browser Control to the form and set its properties as
  follows:

     Name: WBCtrl1
     Refresh: NODEFAULT
     Init: This.Navigate("www.microsoft.com")

3. Add a TextBox to the Form. The TextBox will be used to enter the URLs you
  want to connect to. Add the following code to the Valid event of this
  TextBox:

        IF !EMPTY(This.Value)
           ThisForm.WBCtrl1.Navigate(This.Value)
        ENDIF

4. Run the form, type a valid URL into the TexBox, and then hit the ENTER key to
  go to and display the URL. Note that repeating step 4 several times may cause
  Visual FoxPro to crash.
