[PDF export] hunderd percent cpu and 2gb filesize

I've studied the PDF export tutorial and created an override for my custum class.

One of the problems I experienced was printing text in a table. WHITESPACES vanished in my pdf-file.

A solution given in on of the forum posts was, use

{"Text with spaces"|wash(pdf)}

While trying this, the process "httpd" used 100% of the CPU. The file size was approx. 2 GB!

Can someone explain this behaviour?
It seems an infinite loop is encountered.

Did someone experienced the same problem?
