115156 - A Javascript elect form for navigation on this page causes Mozilla to hang in Linux

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 112241

(Core :: JavaScript Engine, defect)

Description

[Chris Croome]

There is a Javascript navigation form on this page:

  http://www.marxists.org/

that is written from this file:

  http://www.marxists.org/menu.js

that, when used, causes my version of mozilla to totally lock up X to the extent
that I have to ssh from another box in order to do a killall -9 mozilla-bin.

I'm running: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.6) Gecko/20011120

<select name="select1" onChange="selectaplace(this.form)" size=1>

function selectaplace(form) {
/* some stuff */
var x=msg.substring(spot,msg.length);
form.select1.options[formindex].text=x;
}

So the onchange event changes the select, which fires the onchange event
recursively.
