Bug#529851: konqueror: Konqueror hangs busy on a specific site

[Andreas Feldner <pelzi@flying-snail.de>]

Package: konqueror
Version: 4:4.2.2-1
Severity: important


When calling http://www.amazon.de/ and browsing around there, with a high probability (3 to 4 clicks on links) konqueror will hang during the loading and rendering process. In general, the amazon icon and the correct page title are already shown, sometimes an outline of the page is already visible, and only images etc. are still fetched.

The process konqueror itself is eating up all CPU it can get, in a single process, single thread, however (i.e. it is using exactly 100% of one CPU core on a mostly idle multicore system).

strace attached to the process doesn't show anything, so it seems konqueror itself is in an endless loop.

I set up konqueror to javascript disabled in general, but some sites, including amazon.de, enabled. No notification pops up, however about a script disturbing the rendering of the page.
