Bug 156138 – REGRESSION (r198933): Web Inspector and inspected page hang in local builds

• Component: Web Inspector
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Daniel Bates]

Following r198933, inspecting a page can cause the Web Inspector to hang.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Tools/run-safari --release
2. Inspect daringfireball.net.
3. In the Web Inspector console, evaluate "1".

Then the Web Inspector hangs and error messages are seen in the system console that have the form:

I came up with this policy by trial and error until the I no longer saw any error messages in the system console when following the reproduction steps (comment 0). Let me know if I may be missing something or if it is preferred to adopt the Security framework sandbox policies that the WebProcess/Network process use <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/com.apple.WebProcess.sb.in?rev=198054#L204>.
