Description

put this line in a script called "test.groovy":

0 / 2;

Groovy and the JVM spin out of control, eating all CPU. Process must be killed.
Note: any expression that divides zero by another number will do this,
even if the numbers are obtained by method calls, so it's not a parsing problem.
