I ran chromium-browser with the debug option, and my machine became unstable just as it normally does just before a kernel panic, though I was able to recover the machine. This is a snapshot of what I saw, but wasn't sure what kind of querying I would need to make of the running program to get any idea why it's doing this.

At the point of the last kernel panic I was typing in Gmail, with only audio running otherwise. I have Flash disabled on all tabs by default, so I don't think there's anything outside the Open source code running (unless previous flash instances hang around as zombies somehow). Is there a way I can retain the chromium session to pass on debug info? Guess it'll be tricky without handing over a load of my cookie info.
