Crashing Safari
If you download this:
and open it in Safari, it will cause a crash (you have been warned!). In Firefox, it works exactly as expected.
I can't work out whether I'm doing anything wrong. The problem occurs specifically doing a lot of .tagName or .nodeName accesses on an XML element (see the comment in the javascript indicating the location the crash occurs).
The report includes the following:
... Exception: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (0x0001) Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE (0x0002) at 0x000001b8
Thread 0 Crashed: 0 com.apple.WebCore 0x95994984 DOM::DocumentImpl::tagName(unsigned) const + 36 ...
Any ideas?
