Come to think of it, I believe I've heard of multiple "making the device render this text causes a crash" bugs for Apple devices, but never on any other platforms. Is this type of bug just that much more common on Apple devices, or are there plenty of other cases out there that I just don't know about?

In the 90s, there was a type of AOL punter (basically DOS attacks for AOL users) that would just IM people tons of html tags (eg <h3><h3><h3>hello</h3></h3></h3> but many more nested tags) and it would freeze aol trying to render it and kick people off the internet. They eventually fixed it.
