Comment #1 on issue 287 by erik.corry: Long, complex regexp pattern (in  
WebKit layout test) hangs
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=287

This is pretty much as expected.  The regexp takes exponential time to run  
so we keep
running it.

We have considered having some sort of timeout, however there are a  
multitude of ways
to write JS code that doesn't terminate before the universe dies.  All the  
others are
not handled in any special way so it feels a bit wrong to treat this case  
differently.
