Crashing chromium/iridium

[Kyle Evans]

For reference: there's been some escalation of this by asmodai@ (I think --
don't quote me on this): https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?
id=729534 -- asmodai@ was requesting some help in further debugging, but
unfortunately does not seem to have received any help in that regard.
