JS lexer hangs on some minified js files

[jeffgran]

This one may seem silly -- it's a minified javascript file. But we are trying to be able to parse any file including minified ones.

I'm guessing it might be because the lexer never gets into the "whitespace" state, since there's no whitespace?

Here's a couple of example files that elicit the problem:

https://raw.github.com/yui/yui3/v3.0.0/build/dom/dom-min.js

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/geronimo/server/trunk/plugins/console/console-portal-driver/src/main/webapp/dojo/dojox/gfx/VectorText.js

Hm, yeah, that's definitely not desired behavior. Do you think you could whittle it down to a more minimal test case?
