jQuery.ajax dataFilter parsing of the resulting data hangs IE 7

[jtate]

If I have a dataFilter method that tries to parse the data

    var foo = jQuery(data);
    //Do something with foo

it will hang on IE 7, and the iexplor.exe process will have to be killed. It does not seem to matter how big the data is, or what the contents are.

test page

second page (loaded by ajax)

I was trying to do this as part of a jquery.tabs structure.
