If you have the string "</SCRIPT>" in some Javascript, the parser will think its
the end of the script and stop interpreting it as Javascript. The rest of the
script will be displayed as HTML. Fixing this might require the HTML parser to
understand some JavaScript...

Breaks for me on M11 on both NT and Linux.

Here is the test page above in case the link doesn't work:

<html><head><script language="JavaScript"><!--
if( 0 )
{
	document.write("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaScript1.2'
SRC='asdf.js'></SCRIPT>");
	document.write("This shouldnt display.");
}
--></script></head><body></body></html>

Script is CDATA. The parser should stop once it see "</SCRIPT>". If you need to
include that in your markup, you need to escape it.
