This I consider as "normal" output.  For me the browser just freezes.
I should add that I chose this page because it is the shortest path
to freeze the browser -- I can freeze it an another pages (which 
in earlier versions work fine). 

Investigating further I have noticed that gcl-2.6.8pre2 in silver is 
different then gcl-2.6.8pre in build improvements.  In particular
the function object_to_string in gcl-2.6.8pre2/o/cmpaux.c is like
gcl-2.6.7 while the version in gcl-2.6.8pre is different.
