Today I stumbled uppon the following bug:

The filter_list_format function defined in the filter.module page calls itself recursively. This recursive call will keep on going if the default "Filtered HTML" is not present in the database. Now for some reason this got removed from mine. This resulted in a server crash whenever someone wanted to add content.

Now I just wanted to bring this to the maintainers attention since it is easely fixed. But in my oppinion wouldn't it be more secure to code defaults? Why this piece of code violated the memory_limit php.ini setting is another bug.

For more information send me an email.

Like many other software, also Drupal's filter system relies on its own, stored data. If that is corrupted, you better restore your site from backup.
