To clarify the difference that Brett is making, I believe he means
that although you may get a "want to kill this tab?" message (perhaps
due to running out of memory or other conditions), this is _not_ a
crash (where usually the entire browser window will close
unexpectedly).  Do please file a bug at 
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/entry
if you can get a reproducible crash.

Brett or anyone else, please feel free to correct me if my rephrasing
or understanding is in error.
