           Summary: Long-running regular expressions should be interruptible
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 420+ (nightly)
          Platform: Macintosh
               URL: http://www.dscoder.com/regex.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: JavaScriptCore
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: catfish.man at gmail.com


Regular expressions can take arbitrarily long to match, but cannot currently be
interrupted. This can lead to hangs of arbitrary length, which is probably a
bad thing. The test URL will cause a fairly long pause (in the Feb. 5th nightly
build), but it will eventually recover.
