2002092511 trunk for MacOS9.x
This may not be 100 % reproducible. However, once it happens, it does not go
away till you trash the XUL FastLoad File.
Steps:
Go History
Result:
Crash
You can open history in Sidebar without any trouble.
It actually started happen with Download Manager window, but now it occurs only
with Go History window.

I now have a better idea of what is going on.
In my case, XUL FastLoad File exceeds somewhere around 3MB, it nears its limit.
If everything goes fine, most of the XUL FastLoad File content is cleared to
allow a new XUL data for a new kind of window being opened. However, it
sometimes misses the clearing of old data and tries to write a new data, causing
a crash.
I have experienced crash with Download Manager window, History window, and
Sidebar Bookmarks window. Might be a dupe.
