--- Comment #2 from Brent Fulgham <bfulgham at webkit.org> ---
We seem to enter an endless loop in WebCore::maxWordFragmentWidth, in the following code:

    while ((hyphenLocation = lastHyphenLocation(word, hyphenLocation, style.locale())) >= minimumPrefixLength)
        hyphenLocations.append(hyphenLocation);

The 'lastHyphenLocation' keeps returning 0, which is >= minimumPrefixLength (which is also zero), and we never get out of the loop.

This problem seems like it's been around for a few years.
