This bug may not be easily or directly reproducible with the URL originally given in the report but it happens to me about 4 to 5 times a day when I surf sub pages of http://www.heise.de/ especially http://www.heise.de/newsticker/ and http://www.heise.de/newsticker/foren/ subpages that I get a lock up like the one reported: the Safari web content process goes to about 100% CPU and there is no way to stop this besides quiting and relaunching the WebKit nightly. This is also the reason I can't provide you with the HTML of the causing web page (since "show html source" is no longer working). I suspect it has something to do with the ads on this page. 

So this bug is not invalid but very real. Since heise.de is a major and highly respected german tech news site releasing Safari with this bug inside might cause trouble. Even if a JS infinite loop is the cause there should be a way to stop the hanging tab or window. Therefore I reopen this bug.
