The browser doesn't interrupt the following script after a period of time. The user interface becomes unresponsive.

<html>
dummy
<script>
document.write(document.getElementsByTagName("html")[0].innerHTML);
</script>
</html>


Reproducible: Always
Related issue:

The following code uses 512 MB ram before it gets stopped. I think lower memory limit should be allowed for scripts.

<script>
x=' ';
for (i=0; i<100; i++) x+=x;
document.write(x);
</script>
