Hi Michal,

Yes, we all know that. The flaw here was not looping on itself a
thousands of times, wow. It was a DOM implementation flaw. That's
what made it interesting. A border case that was not accounted for.

That's all, still interesting. I don't see how Javascripts endless
loops are similar at all - sorry.
