- Priority changed from Unspecified by Maintainer to Low

- Version changed from Unspecified to Git as of bugdate
Reproduced on Debian Squeeze.
The crash happens deep in C code, as part of some event processing. Even if Browse did something wrong that triggers the crash, it's clearly the fault of some other component. Not sure exactly which component is to blame (candidates are at least python-xpcom, libmozjs and xulrunner), though my first guess would be python-xpcom.

Perhaps it would be useful to try and reproduce the bug with something like http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Sugar_Code_Snippets#WebView, perhaps there is indeed something that Browse in particular does to trigger this bug, in which case there could be a workaround.

Reproduced as suggested using the WebView code snippet. The stack trace looks identical. Therefore there is nothing in Browse itself that is triggering this.

gdb backtrace showing point of failure, using webview instead of browse
