Comment:

 It seems like there is a loop which still crashes IE8. (Not a regression
 after [33450].)

 To reproduce add `console.log('loooop');` before the `setTimeout()` call
 in [source:/trunk/src/wp-admin/js/user-profile.js at 33450#L52] and see how
 it fills the browser console. There is also a huge lag when entering a
 custom password.
