When using the built-in currency filter in Angular 1.5.x , with es5-shim 4.5.8 and browsing with Safari 8.x the browser will crash...

(also logged with es5-shim... es-shims/es5-shim#398)

after debugging ive found that it occurs in angular 1.4.9 but NOT 1.4.8... so 1.4.9 introduced the breaking change

v1.4.8...v1.4.9 is pretty big. It would be awesome to get a bisect and figure out which commit broke it :-)

Lots of potential in 9c49eb1 for infinite loops and relying on non-standard slice/indexOf/replace behavior (no specific clues tho)

Does it happen on all 1.5.x versions ? (I.e. from 1.5.0-beta.1 onwards ?)

[stringbeans]

@gkalpak I've found that it occurs on all versions starting from 1.4.9 to 1.5.5. I have not tried the beta versions of 1.5

[gkalpak]

So, what does "all versions" mean ? All stable versions ?

@gkalpak sorry, let me clarify.

I have verified that this issue occurs in Angular 1.4.9, 1.4.10, 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.5.3, 1.5.4, and 1.5.5. All stable versions (no release candidates or beta releases).

In Angular 1.4.8 the behaviour is as expected, so the transition from 1.4.8 to 1.4.9 is what caused the breaking change.

+1, this is happening for me too

1.5.3 of Angular
