HOTFIX; The system stops responding when you access a Web page or open an HTML document on a Windows XP SP2 based computer

When you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 to access a Web page or to open an HTML document on a Windows XP SP2-based computer, the system stops responding. Additionally, you notice that the CPU usage is almost 100%.

This issue may occur if the Web page or the HTML document has a RUBY element. For example, when you open the Web page by using the HTML editor, some lines of the source code resemble the following:

<ruby>123<rt style='layout-grid-mode:line'>abc</rt>A</ruby>

When Internet Explorer 6 parses the line that contains the RUBY element, an infinite loop occurs. The infinite loop causes this problem.

The hotfix 908917 (for IE6 in WinXP SP2 only) is MSHTML.DLL v6.0.2900.2771 (07-Oct-2005).

MS07-045 installs MSHTML.DLL v6.0.2900.3157 (14-Jun-2007).

QED #1: If IE6 is fully patched, would this hotfix install?

QED #2: As IE updates are cumulative, does the behavior described in 908917 persist if the machine's fully patched (i.e., running with MSHTML.DLL v6.0.2900.3157)?
