Dupe of bug 711568?

This bug was created to investigate the issue with breakpad within Android/Firefox and the crash corruption, not to track the crashes; so no.  this is not a dup.

So, generally what this means is that we failed to write a minidump because the process was crashed in some really broken way (OOM, heap corruption, etc). It's really hard to say anything else useful without having a reproducible testcase. If you come across a crash that reliably reproduces this scenario, I'd love to hear about it!

This reproduces on the Android build? If so, then it's not any new information. We know that OOM is a frequent cause of these situations.

unless this is a meta / specific to android then it's a duplicate of one of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?field0-0-0=short_desc;bug_severity=critical;bug_severity=major;bug_severity=normal;type0-0-1=substring;field0-0-1=keywords;query_format=advanced;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr;value0-0-1=crash;type0-0-0=anywordssubstr;value0-0-0=crash%20segfault;short_desc=EMPTY%20no%20crashing%20thread%20identified;list_id=3452334

Anything left to investigate here? This does not seem like a Socorro server bug, please correct if this is wrong.
