New issue 243939 by matteosi...@gmail.com: console stops responding if
attempt to clear it when it contains a fair amount of data
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=243939

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.31 (KHTML, like
Gecko) Chrome/26.0.1410.63 Safari/537.31

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open a web page with a script that does a lot of console.log()'s
2. open the javascript console
3. wait a while so that you accumulate quite a bit of output in the console
(as little as a few thousands logs is enough)
4. right click on the console anc choose "clear console"

What is the expected behavior?
the console should be cleared instantly, it should take a very little O(1)
time no matter how much text it contains. We're talking about _emptying_ it

What went wrong?
the console didn't clear, and it stopped responding completely. I couldn't
scroll it any more, right click did nothing, I couldn't select another tab,
and I couldn't even close it.
However the rest of the browser kept working fine, including javascript
currently running in the page.

Did this work before? N/A
