Description Tobias Nopper 2009-06-15 14:58:20 PDT
WebKit (and current Safari) reproducably crashes when opening the (pseudo)-HTML site http://share.tobias-nopper.de/1mb.html 
Most of the times, WebKit crashes instantly, yet sometimes it takes a click on the reload button to crash.

Crash report attached.

Works for 
Safari 4.0 (5530.17) on Intel Mac 10.5.7
WebKit (5530.17, r44680) on Intel Mac 10.5.7
Safari 4.0 (530.17) on Windows XP SP2
WebKit (530.17, r44680) on Windows XP SP2

We don't have reduction because the test case URL is 404 and I tried the Wayback Archive and it is also 404 and tried even :80 trick in Wayback but didn't work.

So we don't have any test case to reproduce this.

I am going to tag some Webkit folks, just so if they can analysis something from the crash log or if needed mark this appropriately. Thanks!

This was likely some case of very deep nesting, I'd expect us to have nesting depth limits that prevent it now.

Hey,

blast from the past. ;-)

Sorry, I didn't expect anybody to be interested in this 13 year old bug anymore.

I did now re-upload the then-faulty HTML file, which simply consists of loads of non-sensical HTML tags. You can check it out at the URL that I posted in the original bug report.

Indeed, the bug is now gone, probably has been for many, many years now. :-)

Greetings,
Tobias Nopper
