           Summary: DOM modification causes stack exhaustion (Caused by
                    colGroup?)
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525.x (Safari 3.1)
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://skypher.com/SkyLined/Repro/Safari/Stack%20exhaust
                    ion%20colGroup/repro.html
        OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.5
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: New Bugs

I found that the following javascript causes a stack exhaustion:

<BODY onload="go()"><SCRIPT>
    var i=0;
    function go() {
        oColGroup=document.createElement('colGroup');
        document.body.appendChild(oColGroup);
        oComment=document.createElement('b');
        document.body.insertAdjacentElement('afterBegin', oComment);
    }
</SCRIPT></BODY>

Something tells me the colGroup is the culprit, but I have no way of backing
that up.
Tested with Safari 3.1.1.

Marked as security, I'm not sure if you treat DoS as a security issue, so
erring on the safe side.
