The installer can crash if the included installer.ini is invalid.  Specifically,
I changed the first key, "NEXT", to "EXT", and it crashed in
nsXIContext::ReleaseResources
I love it when I already have the patch written.  :)

The installer crashes because of the "dangling" uninitialized element I
mentioned in bug 242908 comment 0.  I convinced myself it wasn't a problem, but
it is a problem if it bails from the loop because it can't find an entry (as it
does here).
