Memory corruption. If you can reproduce, it would be really awesome if you could catch it in valgrind.

Can you give me instructions how to catch it in valgrind?

Comment 3 Michael Catanzaro 2017-02-17 15:49:55 UTC
Just 'valgrind epiphany' should be enough, since it's a UI process issue. Ifval

Sorry, I guess I was planning to write something else there at the end. Ignore that last bit!

Still can not catch fault in fedora, but got crash with valgrind in debian https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=855261#10

Comment 6 Michael Catanzaro 2017-02-18 15:09:43 UTC
The valgrind log shows a different, unrelated crash (from an X window system error). I wonder if that one might have been fixed in 2.14.5. Please wait for that update and see if you can still reproduce it then; if so, we should report it upstream (on WebKit Bugzilla).

Back to this issue. The problem here is the memory corruption could be in Epiphany, or WebKit (most likely), or any dependency: we really have no clue unless we can catch it in valgrind. So nothing actionable yet, I'm afraid.

Ca not reproduce anymore. Closing.
