Comment #2 on issue 430 by erik.corry: Regex hardlock http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=430
This looks like a case of exponential backtracking. See http://www.regular- expressions.info/catastrophic.html Safari and IE will just report 'no match' after some arbitrary number of backtracks. V8 will keep looping just like it would for "for(i = 0; i > 100; i--) {}" or other endless loops. -- You received this message because you are listed in the owner or CC fields of this issue, or because you starred this issue.
