I am getting the same crash when viewing http://nytime.com.  This only happens
in Thousands of colors.

This crash (and possibly some of the other ones) was caused by the checkin to
bug 239701.  It seems that there is an OS bug if any of the CopyBits functions
are called with srcCopy.  If we pass ditherCopy to CopyDeepMask(), some images
can look bad when running under Thousands of colors.  If we pass srcCopy to
CopyDeepMask() or call CopyMask() (which does srcCopy implicitly), then we crash.
