TB freezes and hugs the CPU when i paste XML into the compose window, even if i
change to plain text mode.

After thatn i have to kill it or it wont respond.

I'm on Gentoo Linux, 

Here's the XML I pasted:

<location>
someplace I can't tell, there's an error on the scheduling information or this
submission hasn't been scheduled
</location>
<date>Some day</date>
<starttime>sometime between early morning to late night</starttime>

My TB version is 1.0.6-r1

Here's my top:
  PID USER      PR  NI  VIRT  RES  SHR S %CPU %MEM    TIME+  COMMAND
 9662 fox       25   0 63960  35m  15m R 93.4 14.7  10:25.78 thunderbird-bin


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a Compose Window
2. Paste XML
3. Thunderbird stopped responding

Actual Results:  
Thunderbird freezes, and starts using the CPU extensively


Expected Results:  
It shouldn't do a thing. Just let me finish my email.
