sizzle well hung on descendents of non existent element

sizzle well hung on descendents of non existent element


trying to move to 1.3,
on page load I do something like
$('div.thiselementisnotavailableyet>ul>li').each(...)
and sizzle is well hung.
I can bypass this error by making the following change
test for array end in the TAG function of the preFilter element of
Sizzle.selectors
line 1774 of jquery-1.3.js :
for ( var i=0; !curLoop[i]; i++ ){ if (i==curLoop.length) return
false; }
I am sorry that I haven't delved deeper to fully understand what's
happening,
but I have other responsibilities, and I suspect (guess?) that this
will be enough info for those of you who are deep in the internals of
jquery already ...
please let me know if I should submit this somewhere else.
