[jdom-interest] How to "crash" JDOM, part 1

[Jason Hunter]

This shouldn't cause an infinite loop.  The getCopy() should do a deep
clone and therefore should be like any other element.  An infinite loop
is a bug.  I'll look at it when I have time, but if you want faster
action feel free to look into what's going wrong yourself!  :-)
