Attachment: this crashes my BonEcho when I add one more character

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1a3) Gecko/20060630 BonEcho/2.0a3

I've found that a string of 1425 or more characters in an <input> results in a crash.

This attachment has an input with 1424 characters - if I enter one more BonEcho crashes.

I tried with Firefox 1.5.0.4 on this same machine (and OS) and I could happily add many more characters without it crashing.

X11 didn't crash and restart for me btw - BonEcho crashed, that was it.
When I view the first attachment BonEcho crashes in the same way, X11 doesn't.

Still WFM.

hm, I see that the crash doesn't happen on trunk, but I can see FF struggles badly to modify the text in the first attachment.

WFM, Firefox 2.0.0.4 on Linux.

Can anyone reproduce the Firefox or X server crash using Firefox 2.0.0.4?

No response - resolving WFM.

There is a rendering problem with 2.0.0.4, but WFM both there and with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a6pre) Gecko/20070630 Minefield/3.0a6pre. Debian GNU/Linux 4.0.

Feel free to reopen if you still see the problem with current versions.
