(Whiteboard: [sg:nse])

User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322) Build Identifier: firefox 1.0.3 Page file grows very fast on a very simple javascript -- in is not connected with javascript engine itself, -- it just forms the string in cause of which firefox grows very very fast in memory and fills all the pagefie, after all exits with mistake. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. just wanna know, is it critical? 2. 3. Actual Results: windows work very very slow Expected Results: overflows if you need the source i can send you ))))
Also can generate huge amount of traffic. It contains src attribute of <image> for example that include about 50000 of "./" repeats. Normally, simple path of 255 symbols ("/" repeats) is accepted in src by firefox, but if change "/" to "./" repeats firefox can (possible) ask server infinitely for actually the same dir. So that. But it works, firefox crashes, loosing all tabs opened (why still not fixed?????)
> if you need the source i can send you Yes, please attach a testcase to the bug.

I don't crash, I get a javascript "out of memory" error. Memory usage does hit the roof, but once the page is closed I get it back on the next GC.

May there is too much of string addition's? If you delete some of them script should work without javascript error and url should be passed to to browser, after all browser hangs or crashes.
fixed. i removed some of additions from js now it should work fine ). It may not crash firefox, because i don't have ability to install firefox :/
does not crash with FF 1.0.4 and Mozilla trunk, both Win2k, normal memory usage
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4 Also unable to reproduce (Windows XP). Will mark as WORKSFORME unless someone can provide more information.
