You seem to have config.doctypeSwitch = 1 set, to bring IE6 out of
quirks mode. The docs for that state:

| By default TYPO3 outputs the XML/DOCTYPE in compliance with the standards
| of XHTML. However a browser like MSIE will still run in "quirks-mode"
| unless the <?xml> and <DOCTYPE> tags are ordered opposite.
| But this breaks CSS validation...

So try config.xmlprologue = none to suppress that altogether. Besides,
also you might want config.htmlTag_langKey = nl to have the right lang
and xml:lang attributes of the html tag. Then the CSS should validate
again. And another usefull setting is config.xhtml_cleaning = all.

You could have tried, note the parantheses:

page.bodyTag (
<!-- TOPNAV stylesheet(s) -->
<STYLE TYPE="text/css" MEDIA="screen">
...
</STYLE>
<![endif]-->
<!-- TOPNAV stylesheet(s) -->
<body>
)

But seems, you have found another solution?

Nice to have another valid XHTML/CSS site, well done.

That's bad news, and yes, it crashes my IE6 (same version as yours) too
after around 15 clicks. So I can only imagine, that it has to do with
the Javascript. Did you report to / ask the MediaTech people?
