Details

A missing </OPTION> tag (which might well happen since they are optional) causes
the parser to lock up if it then comes across an <OPTGROUP> element.

For example:

 <SELECT name="name">
     <OPTION value="a">Option with no close tag
     <OPTGROUP label="OptGroup">
       <OPTION label="Option in OptGroup" value="b">Option in OptGroup</OPTION>
     </OPTGROUP>
 </SELECT>

This test case will lock up the parser:
