[webkit-dev] DOS in Safari/WebKit?

[Geoffrey Garen]

Hi Kurt.

Yes, this bug is in radar, and yes, it has been fixed in the latest  
nightlies. ensureRows doesn't enforce a fixed limit (what limit would  
you choose?); instead, it checks whether the resize succeeded or  
failed, and returns early if it failed.
