Infinite captcha' loop

I'm trying to find a contact phone number for a company to make sure they are legit before I buy from them (mixed reviews on Froogle). It wasn't readily available, so I figured I would search for it:

Plemix.com phone|contact 111111111..999999999

This put Google into an infinite captcha' loop.

It also works with just the phone number query: 111111111..999999999

I can search for other phrases just fine. Can anyone duplicate this?

I get:

The requested URL /sorry/?continue=http://www.google.com/search%3Fq%3DPlemix.com%2Bphone%257Ccontact%2B111111111..999999999%26ie%3Dutf-8%26oe%3Dutf-8%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-GB:official%26client%3Dfirefox-a was not found on this server.

Yep, I got that at first too. Then I kept trying variations of the search and finally Google gave me the finger.
