Description
Consider this scenario: <body>
<div id="x">
<!--<small class="b"><a href="#" ></a></small>--> <small class="b"><a href="#">Oct 3, 2009</a></small>
</div>
</body>
this: var str= $('small.b:first').text();
Will either crash FireFox (total lockup) or return an empty string depending on (something)
I'm using jQuery inside of GreaseMonkey, for whatever that is worth. But it appears this is a jQuery problem.

Update: AFAIK, this is NOT a crasher bug. I've isolated the crashes to another issue.
The effect still stands, as demonstrated in my attachments: selectors "see" nonexistent elements inside of HTML comments.
