Converting empty table cells to rst causes infinite loop with memory growth

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Run pandoc -f html empty-table-cell.html -t rst, or run pandoc -f markdown 
empty-table-cell.markdown -t rst
2. Wait and observe the program growing arbitrarily large in memory usage
3. Kill it before it takes over your machine :)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It should rather output a normal table, or at least terminate with an error

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.8.1.1 on Ubuntu 11.10

Please provide any additional information below.

Further note:  I was unable to reproduce this on pandoc 1.9.1.1, the latest 
release:

% pandoc -t rst -f html
<table>
<tr><td>Test</td><td></td></tr>
</table>

| Test         |         |

1. This is fixed in recent versions of pandoc.  Please upgrade.

2. This is not the right bug tracker to use -- see comment 1 above.
