Socket.io crashes Google Chrome

[NoPyGod]

Using the latest Google Chrome [as available by the update system] and
the latest version of Socket.io [client and server]

Client code -

function Game() {

var socket = io.connect('http://devserver:8081');

socket.emit('join', {id: 'hello'}, function (data) {

if (data['ok'] == 'na') {
alert(data['msg']);
}

});

}

All the server does is send back a response with a parameter of 'ok'
equal to 'na'

This causes the tab in Chrome to crash, bringing up that lovely blue
screen saying something went wrong.

Changing the alert to something else, or removing it, stops the
crashing.

Other people have experienced the problem also -

My apologies, I had left out a crucial detail. The server is actually
immediately disconnecting the client after sending the 'na' message -

fn({ok: 'na', msg: e});
socket.disconnect();

So the crash only occurs if the server disconnects the client right
after it sends the message

Please check if this still happens with the canary, and if so open a bug at http://new.crbug.com and send the bug number on this thread.

Thanksm
