Alexis Pigeon commented on WW-2030:
-----------------------------------
Same cause, differents effects.
In my case, this caused a 100% CPU consumption.
I noticed that it didn't happen if you add the value attribute to the tag. No
need to set a value to it, its presence acts like a workaround.
Moreover, you can reproduce this issue with the <s:password> tag.
