the crashes happen only occasionally.
The first one I was running a VM with only 512 MB of memory. I visited
http://soylentnews.org/. At the top of the window was printed:
302 Moved Permanently
nginx
then below that the Soylent News homepage was rendered correctly.
WebPositive crashed immediately after that.
The second crash my VM had 4 GB. I had Soylent News open in my first tab
and Facebook in my second. The crash happened a while after opening
FaceBook, but I'm afraid I don't recall what I was doing when the crash
occurred.
In both cases, I had git running a full anonymous checkout of the Haiku
source code. A possible problem may be that git uses a lot of memory when
checking out large codebases; perhaps WebPositive fails to check for a
NULL returned from malloc. (In C++, that should throw an exception.)
Nightly gcc2 hybrid 50336.
