If you always wanted to crash your MobileSafari and didn’t dare to ask, here’s a current way to do it. If you zoom into the right place on our Linguan app product page iOS terminates the app. Thanks to Oisin Prendiville for sending this in.
Of course I had to immediately file a bug report. It is slightly bit hilarious that Mobile Safari would crash on my own site. Looks like it’s somehow running out of “rpages”, whatever that means.
Filed as rdar://13885055 and on Open Radar.
Summary
When zooming into the left-hand sidebar on http://www.cocoanetics.com/apps/linguan/ MobileSafari reaches the per process limit of rpages and gets terminated by iOS.
Steps to Reproduce

Expected Results
- The tiling should created higher resolution tiles and the display become crisp
Actual Results
