Ouch. Now that it's been discovered, do you think we'll see more use of it now before it's all patched up?

Is this really a bug? I suppose you shouldn't be able to use up the browsers entire amount of memory from JavaScript, but bear in mind this is no different then making a giant array in your own application.

Yeah, I think this is one of those "Just a damn limit!" type of issues. I mean, if you take a 500Gb image file, and replace any .png image in any Blitz game with that image.. it's gonna crash!!

Although I was really impressed that it causes Ubuntu to restart. That's kinda a big flaw.
