Description Gavin Sherlock 2008-09-28 22:21:49 PDT 
Steps to reproduce:

1.  go to bug url
2.  Press apple-a to select all
3.  Press apple-c to copy

Expected results:

Table will be copied to clipboard, so I can paste it to excel

Actual results:

Safari hangs, and eats up all memory until you force quit

Tested with r37012, though this is not a regression, as 3.1.2 exhibits the same behavior.  Marking as P1 per http://webkit.org/quality/bugpriorities.html as this is a reproducible hang.

Note, Firefox does not hang when copying the table, though what is subsequently pastes into Excel is not what was desired.

I'm seeing the freeze when copying with ToT. It eventually finishes, but takes an extreme amount of time and memory.
