Bug#428754: Consume all available memory while opening an XML file

[Simon Valiquette]

Package: iceape-browser
Version: 1.0.9-0etch1
Severity: normal

  If you open this xml file with iceape (localy or from the web), iceape
will start to use all available memory at over 1MB/s until It crash.

http://download.wikipedia.org/images/archive/etwiktionary/20060912/etwiktionary-20060912-abstract.xml

  Note that java and javascript are disabled in my browser, so you won't
have to search for that.

  It would be useful if someone with some free time could trim this XML
file and find a minimal subset that still crash iceape.

  To be sure It wasn't just a unicode related problem, I modified the
XML file with the following command and got exactly the same result:

iconv -c --from-code UTF-8 --to-code ISO_8859-1   \
         /tmp/etwiktionary-20060912-abstract.xml  \
      -o /tmp/etwiktionary-20060912-abstract2.xml

Thank you for your time,
Simon Valiquette
