This will trigger the error:

var
/* Sets the s_pers cookie in the .domain.com and path = / */
_i= s.getVisitNum()
/* Read the value */
,_o= s.c_r(“s_pers”)
/* Sets the expiration time of the s_invisit attribute to 1 and encodes it */
, _c= encodeURIComponent(_o.replace(/s_invisit=true\|\d+/, “s_invisit=true|1″))

document.cookie=”s_pers=” + _c + “;”

/* Infinite recursion triggered here */
s_ut.c_r(“s_invisit”);
