18598,"When ""sidebars_widgets"" option is malformed, an infinite loop occurs",Viper007Bond,ryan,"My `sidebars_widgets` option is set to this:

{{{
a:1:{s:9:""sidebar-1"";a:3:{i:0;s:7:""links-2"";i:1;s:12:""categories-2"";i:2;s:10:""archives-2"";}}
}}}

This results in an infinite loop between `retrieve_widgets()` and `wp_get_sidebars_widgets()`.
