Thanks for reporting it.  Unfortunately I can't reproduce it here
(chromium 20.0.1132.43~r143823-1:i386).  Are you able to reproduce
this on other machines?  If not, any idea what accounts for the
difference?

If that doesn't reveal anything, please install the chromium-dbg
package and get a backtrace while it is hanging, following
instructions from [1].  (You can use ^C while chromium is running to
get to the (gdb) prompt in order to run commands.)

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
