Re: indent produces more than 30MB from the 67K javascript file

Hello,

It looks like a bug inside the indent utility.  I've tried to indent
the attached JavaScript file (this file was taken from GMail
interface, since I was trying to write a user script and needed to
analyse how they do some things) and the resulted file was more than
30MB in size.  I've used the following command to do the job (I'm
including the raw terminal session output here):
