while(txt.indexOf('<'+'?xml ') != -1)
        txt.replace(/^<\?xml .*?>/i,'');

This replace() doesn't really remove the XML declaration, so it's an infinite
loop. Firefox has the same behavior.

Now, Firefox has an ability to interrupt scripts with infinite loops, and
Safari does not have it. This feature has been already implemented in WebKit
back-end, but we are waiting for a Safari release that will enable it - this is
why the problem still happens even with the nightlies.
