If you follow the Browse by Year hierarchy down to the album level, and then select Years in the breadcrumb trail, the server will crash.  This is caused by the orderBy parameter in the url.  You can similarly cause a crash by adding that parameter to the top level link to the browse by year, like so:

http://slimserver:9000/browsedb.html?hierarchy=year,album,track&level=0&player=&orderBy=album.titlesort

The orderBy is filled in on the way down by the sortBrowseArt pref.
