Weather Underground crasher

At least two local conditions pages on Weather Underground
(<http://www.wunderground.com/>) are consistently crashing OmniWeb 5.1.3 on
my G3 iBook running OS X 10.3.9. The main page loads fine, but pages for
local conditions cause OW to crash during loading. OW loads much of the
page, but it crashes before it finishes loading everything. This happens
for me with the pages for Reno NV and Paso Robles CA, and it's 100%
reproducible. I doubt that it's specific to those two locations, since the
pages are presumably generated by the same server side script(s), but those
are the only two I've tried. I've sent six CrashCatcher reports to
OmniGroup about it this afternoon, and my wife has sent one (testing it for
me on her iBook w/ 10.3.9). Safari and Firefox both load these pages fine.
Is it just us, or are others seeing it too?
I visit Weather Underground fairly often to check the local forecasts, and
this problem has only just cropped up in the last week or so. There have
been some changes to these pages recently, so I'm guessing that WU has
added some JavaScript or other widget that's giving OW indigestion.
