User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_3; en-us) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.1 Safari/525.20
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9) Gecko/2008061004 Firefox/3.0; Weave 0.1.30

Installed Firefox 3 on Windows XP.  Installed Weave.  Loaded bookmarks into Weave.  Went to a second machine, OS/X, installed Firefox 3, installed Weave.  Successfully synced bookmarks and history, can continue to successfully sync these.

On OS/X, added in "Sync Saved Passwords".  Clicked "Sync Now".  Several minutes of 99.9% CPU load, Firefox is completely jammed.  Force quit.  

Testing the other data options for the sync, I can sync Cookies, and Saved Form Data.  Again checking Saved Passwords and clicking "Sync Now", Firefox jams/Weave blocks.  

Reproducible: Always

From CBeard, on the Mozilla Labs Forum today (6/24): The primary server cluster providing the back-end for the Weave experimental prototype will be mostly offline and largely unstable over the next 24 to 48 hours. We are migrating servers as well as preparing for the Weave 0.2 update. Thank you for your patience. More details soon.

From [e-mail]: If this is still broken on 6/26, after the update, I'll update the bug.

This also shouldn't be a 'critical' bug, as the password syncronization is an alpha feature.  Dropping it to normal.
