 > (BTW, is this something I can reproduce locally?  I've set up a shadow
 instance at home to the extent of being able to run the scallion.xml test,
 but I have no idea what I would do to see whether I'm hitting infinite
 loops, whether a patch fixes this, etc.)

 Yes. It takes about 10 seconds to hit the infinite loop in master without
 my patch, so you won't have to worry about having enough memory. I'll help
 you get Shadow setup over email.
