chardet stuck in infinty loop

[JakobDev]

If you try to detect the encoding in some files, it will stuck in infinity loop. e.g.:

import chardet
f = open("/initrd.img","rb")
b = f.read()
f.close()
chardet.detect(b)

How many bytes do you need to provide to chardet.detect of that file before it goes into the infinite loop? Perhaps it could be added to the test case.
