It is marked as WontFix because it is in code outside of our control.

The crash happens in the Microsoft library function:

   WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser()

Since we are passing it valid parameters, we must assume that either there  
is a bug in WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser(), or the users systems  
have modified this
function making it buggy, or there is a generic heap corruption somewhere  
in Chrome that causes this function to sometimes crash. In either of these  
cases, the problem
is not actionable.

About the only thing we could do, is to stop using  
WinHttpGetIEProxyConfigForCurrentUser().
It might be possible to directly inspect registry settings and duplicate  
the logic of this function with our own implementation.
However, given the relatively low frequency of this crash, I don't think  
such an approach is worthwhile (it risks breaking compatibility).

If you are able to reproduce the crash on your system, please post the  
details and we can re-evaluate. Thanks.
