This script will crash an InDesign document with a decent number of pages/paragraphs:

tell application "InDesign 2.0.2"
	set myDocument to active document
	tell myDocument
		search for " ^p" replacing with "^p"
	end tell
end tell

Make a new InDesign document with about 30 pages, fill all 30 pages with linked text using the "fill with placeholder text" function, do a manual search and replace finding "^p" and replacing with " ^p" to add some spaces at the end of paragraphs, then run the above script. I guarantee, it'll crash.
