I've tested this with Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7), as well as with the r59711 nightly build, and both crash on my machine when I attempt to access the Wikipedia article on Benford's law (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Benford%27s_law&oldid=362130667). I asked people in #webkit on Freenode, and this followed:

01:46 < jspiros> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benford's_law crashes the latest nightly, as well
01:47 < Catfish_Man> probably time to file a bug then :(
01:47 < jspiros> I don't know what the bug is, though :(
01:47 < othermaciej> jspiros: I don't see a crash in Safari 4.0.5
01:48 < jspiros> othermaciej: That's what I'm using!
01:48 < jspiros> It crashes every time for me
01:48 < dydz> I also can confirm the crash on one of my mini's, but not on the other
01:48 < Catfish_Man> jspiros: the bug is that it crashes. The cause of the bug is the mystery :)
01:48 < othermaciej> I have my own WebKit build too - it does appear to be crashing that!
01:48 < othermaciej> file bug plz

So, apparently, this bug is not 100% reproducable, though it consistently crashes Safari and the latest nightly both on my machine.
