Google Chrome Text-Input based Tab freezing Exploit.

By: Aodrulez.

Google Chrome Version:0.2.149.30
Tested on: Windows Xp Pro Sp2

   Google Chrome's tab starts to act totally weird &
freezes when you try to open an html file as shown below.
Here, the actual problem is triggered by an Input box.. 
to which a large String is fed.Try feeding a still larger
string & the tab will be totally useless.Tested & working almost
similarly on Opera 9.51,Win32 Platform.
Try removing this line:

"document.form1.the_box.value = x;"

And all the above stated browsers run fine.
