Looping craziness

I’m probably missing something obvious here, but I don’t understand why I’m not getting 12

<br />

tags with this loop, but more like one hundred!


var lineBreak:String = "<br />";
var offset:uint = 12;
for (var i = 1; i < offset; i++) {
    lineBreak += lineBreak;
    trace(i);
}
trace(lineBreak);
