=============================================================

this cross-platform crash has been around for a while - it's primarily affecting users of italian builds, so perhaps it's something specific to websites that are frequently visited in that locale (many comments point towards newspaper sites). the url correlations from crash reports may provide more insight here...

Comment 1

[Marco Castelluccio [:marco]]

Most crashes don't contain a URL. There are a lot of crashes on newspaper websites, such as www.larena.it or www.liberoquotidiano.it.

Comment 2

[Olli Pettay [:smaug]]

Null pointer crash. We have similar issue in one other place.
