WebGL can cause GPU reset

Description
I was given this link: http://hunger.hu/webgl.html which was supposed to crash any video driver, and it really did a hiccup. Fortunately, after 1 second the kernel detected GPU lockup, and reinitialized everything just fine.
As far as I can tell that javascript doesn't do anything sinister, just tries to render 200k triangles with a single glDrawElements() call. Shouldn't there be a protection against such simple overflows somewhere?
