Safari 2 crash bug w/ redux & patch

Description

A call to the jquery html() method (in v1.2.6) may crash Safari 2.0.4 as downloaded from:

http://michelf.com/projects/multi-safari/

A working redux that can reproduce the bug is attached.

A patch (against v.1.26) that prevents the crash is also attached. We're not claiming it should be applied directly, simply that it highlights the code that crashes Safari 2.0.4

We also note that using:

$('#fail').find('a').innerHTML = 'FAIL!';

in our redux example, rather than

$('#fail').find('a').html('FAIL!');

also prevents Safari from crashing.

CORRECTION:

We also note that using:

$('#fail').find('a').each(function() { this.innerHTML = 'FAIL!' });

in our redux example, rather than

$('#fail').find('a').html('FAIL!');

also prevents Safari from crashing.
