Attached file Test case for browser
The attached test (from a crossfuzz instance) triggers some assertions and crashes, but in an opt-build (AddressSanitizer) it also shows a use-after-free. To reproduce, the following instructions should work on Linux:

1. Download an AdressSanitizer debug and opt builds at http://people.mozilla.org/~choller/firefox/asan/

2. Unpack the attached test, create a new profile, move prefs.js from the test to the profile (might not be necessary, but it enables stuff like private browsing to prevent caching effects etc.)

3. Open cross_fuzz_randomized_20110105_seed.html with the debug build, after at most 30 seconds you should get:

4. Start the opt-build firefox (I recommend using "taskset -c 0 firefox/firefox cross_fuzz_randomized_20110105_seed.html" because the issue is a thread race which reproduces much more reliably on a single core) and you should see after at most 30 seconds:

I don't know if the two issues are related to each other. Marking s-s due to use-after-free.

Version Info: The opt-build I tried was from rev 942ed5747b63, the debug build was from 8f702f78a929.

decoder, is this bug still reproducible? see comment 3
Flags: needinfo?(choller)
Wasn't able to reproduce this with a recent build. I'll mark it as WFM.
