Under rhino the following regular expression enters an infinite loop: /(a*?)+?/.exec("a") I checked bug 359651 or bug 443590 but as they are not in the same component I don't think they are related. (especially as FF3 does not exhibit the infinite loop).
My patch in pull request #22 ( https://github.com/mozilla/rhino/pull/22 ) will fix this bug.
Merged your pull request. Thanks!
