Looking up different blogs etc on xml parsers I wind up on the site of Computer stuff, www.razorvine.net. And in the browser torture section, the billionlaughs.xml link (that you shouldn't use if you don't know what your doing, as was my case (mea culpa)) Thinking I was about to crash the browser, I look up the web for assorted advice and find nothing except a post about the *killer xml file*... So hereb goes nothing... click, hang, reboot, hangs, (mouse pointer moves, that's it folks) the disk spins occasionally, the vents go up mad, I guess the CPU is working - have know idea on what. I'm able to boot in safe mode but don't know what to do next?
Any ideas ? Further details? Thanks in advance (I know this is not directly related to python, but regulars here are my only source of knowledge to this point, on this "Billion Laughs" DoS attack) Jean-Marc -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
