Comment #12 on issue 17863 by [email protected]: dlopen plugins in a  
subprocess
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=17863

I think the priority should be at least 2.  I do hope that the glib locking  
patch will fix
the majority of the crashes, but issue 15262 (X race conditions) and issue  
19045
(shutdown crashes due to buggy plugins not calling pthread_key_delete) will  
continue
to cause crashes.  I think there are also some pango/cairo level race  
conditions too,
which won't be fixed by the glib locking.  That said, I can only speculate  
as to the
number of crashes that'll be left after the glib locking patch goes live.

Is doing the patch properly a huge PITA?  It seems like your code got  
pretty close, you
could probably finish it by redirecting it through the zygote and adding a  
new zygote
ForkPluginLoader command.
