Bug#571138: Info received (Bug#571138: iceweasel: random crashes at page/tab close of Iceweasel and iceape)

[Mahesh T. Pai]

COuple of things I forgot to mention earlier. 

1. the crash occurs only while closing tabs. Holding the mouse with
   button pressed, over the tab close button seems to reduce chances
   of a crash. But the crash is random.

2. When I ran iceweasel under gdb, the app crashed, but the window did
   not close. The tab was closed, but contents of closed tab did not
   go away, and instead continued to be displayed in the open
   tab. Actual contents of the open tab were not displayed.

3. Even seemingly simple sites seem to cause crash. 
   eg:-  http://causelists.nic.in/kerala/index1.html (and sub-pages).
   and http://sbt.co.in/~pad/INDEX.html (use the URL in full).

4. This did not exist in 2.* version of Iceweasel. 

Iceape, however crashed at random, not just while closing windows /
tabs. It almost always crashes when clearing browser history. 


Thanks.
