Description

[Justin Dolske [:Dolske]]

Current Nightly (http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/a680fd777c3b), known to be a bit crash due to DLBI I think. I crashed, got no crash reporter, but the OS X system crash reporter did catch it:


Exception Type:  EXC_CRASH (SIGABRT)
Exception Codes: 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000

Application Specific Information:

abort() called

Seems like if the system can catch it we should too?

(Bug 795728 is for the crash itself, it seems)
