Attachment: testcase to show "script stack space quota is exhausted" error

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9b5pre) Gecko/2008030405 Minefield/3.0b5pre ID:2008030405

I'm filing this on behalf of Morac from the mz forums. ( http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=633782 ) I won't pretend to understand the code, or know if this expected behaviour or not, but it's a change when compared to Firefox 2 so I'm filing it.

1. New profile, start firefox
2. Load testcase.
3. A dialog appears with the number '1' in it. Click OK.

Firefox 2 gives: "stack space reached 3276800 bytes without throwing an exception."

Firefox 3 gives:  InternalError : script stack space quota is exhauested. stack space quota is somewhere between: 409600 and 819200

I already filed this under bug 420869, but that is still listed as UNCONFIRMED, while this is NEW.  One should be duped to the other.
