This patch seems to only be for 32bit. im using 64bit chromium and im still 
having this issue on jessie.
Version 38.0.2125.101 Built on jessie/sid, running on Debian jessie/sid 
(290379) (64-bit)
So i can not sign in to chrome and this makes this browser useless.
Could you also patch 64bit. thanks

That is not my perspective, but someone might be able to make the case for 
that.

I've already written a patch for that, which will be included.

Best wishes,
