Subject: Slouken: I found another way to crash WoW
   getmetatable(UIParent).__index(UIParent,nil). Since all xml elements share the same metatable, what you put in place of UIParent doesn't matter. It's just an example in this case. The following have the same result:

getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(GameTooltip,nil)
getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(UIParent,nil)
getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(nil,nil)


However, the following do *not* crash the client:

getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(GameTooltip,"WTFBBQ!")
getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(UIParent,"AddLine")
getmetatable(GameTooltip).__index(nil,"GetText")
What more work?
I don't wanna do that.
Yes m'Lord.

   Two things:

1. This is fixed for 1.8

2. Quit it! :)

   No problem, I think you can still crash WoW with nil in the second paramter in 1.7 though. I fixed that on Friday for 1.8.

I shudder to wonder why you're even trying this though. :)
