All this does is cause Safari to allocate oodles of memory. It won't crash or 
hang the OS, just cause it to slow down due to VM paging. Wait a bit and the 
force-quit alert will appear (and/or Safari will crash when it runs out of 
address space.) Seems more of an annoyance than an actual security problem.

How do Firefox, IE and Opera respond?
