I know no program that would trap things like these (stack consumptions), maybe generate an exception and use language's mechanism and do something sensible, if letting the OS terminatine the program is not sensible enough. One the other hand, if you saw the page loaded, did you see what does it do? Updates the stock values in real time. I haven't looked at the code, but I think I know where the problem with insane use of regexps lies. Saying that this is "don't do it" kind of problem I mean it's a "don't do" for the user -- he should never visit untrusted and potentially malicious sites when a browser crash may cause a problem for him -- and that's a general rule. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
