Summary: Faulty crash in ContainerRender() as layerToRender->GetLayer() returns near-null → Faulty crash in ContainerRender() as the _vptr$LayerComposite for layerToRender is null
No idea how we're getting a null vptr here. Possibilities include: - use after free - scribbling - reinterpreting a layer type into another I'll try reproducing this with ASAN, this will possibly distinguish between some of these situations.
Classification: non-protocol, memory corruption in layers code, hard
Depends on: PReinterpretCast
Fixed by the landing of PLayerTransaction type checks before casting layers, bug 968833.
