Hello,
while I was seperating an old PHP Script with combined HTML, PHP and JS Code into a PHP File and Smarty template, I found a bug that crashed PhpEd.

A short Explanation how the bug works:
open a new smarty tpl File and then write:
<script type="text/javascript">
<?


As soon as I entered the ? my CPU usage increased to 99% and I had to shutdown PhpEd. I'm still using a Duron 800 with Windows 2000 SP4. It's not really a heavy Problem and encountered only because I had to migrate the old PHP file. This first happened when I tried to cut the HTML and JS code with some PHP echo's from the old File and paste them into the new tpl File which i wanted to rework afterwards by replacing the PHP Statements.

I'm not sure why "<?" would ever appear in TPL files.
Tpls are supposed to be server-side-script free. It's just a well explained "separating presentation layer from data layer" paradigm. Please consult with Smarty manual first
If nevertheless you need php in tpls you'd use {php blah blah blah}.

Regarding endless loop when <? is entered after <script in a tpl file, that's indeed a problem. Thanks, we'll fix it in build 4620.
