A line of the form in the attachment (spaces, followed by ">", followed by
many non-space characters)  puts Flowed.php into an infinite loop at line
234.  The pattern match at line 247 returns an empty string in $m[1], and
the original line (though multiple leading spaces are replaced by one) in
$m[2].  Since $m[2] is then assigned to $line, an infinite loop results, and
 the httpd process grows infinitely larger while eating up CPU.
