Public bug reported: Was using Chromium as a second browser when it closed down unexpectedly. Restarting the browser results in a brief flicker as the browser starts up and then immediately closes again.
Steps to reproduce the problem: 1. Go to this web page: http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/edit/S1gkEMuoE- Note that the above web page was the first one to crash on me, but after a successful restart, it seems that the web browser can crash at any point. 2. The browser segfaults 3. I cannot reopen the browser Running from a terminal produces the following: paulvaughan@spectre-x360:~$ chromium-browser Received signal 11 SEGV_MAPERR 000000000010 #0 0x7f52f5e88425 base::debug::StackTrace::StackTrace() #1 0x7f52f5e8880b <unknown> #2 0x7f52f61b3390 <unknown> #3 0x563bd8150dc8 <unknown> #4 0x563bd8153656 <unknown> #5 0x563bd8153df9 <unknown> #6 0x563bd8154143 <unknown> #7 0x7f52f5f03821 <unknown> #8 0x7f52f5e89eea base::debug::TaskAnnotator::RunTask() #9 0x7f52f5eb2e90 base::MessageLoop::RunTask() #10 0x7f52f5eb497d base::MessageLoop::DeferOrRunPendingTask() #11 0x7f52f5eb583d <unknown> #12 0x7f52f5eb6300 base::MessagePumpLibevent::Run() #13 0x7f52f5eb1f15 base::MessageLoop::RunHandler() #14 0x7f52f5edc628 base::RunLoop::Run() #15 0x7f52f5f08e36 base::Thread::ThreadMain() #16 0x7f52f5f03726 <unknown> #17 0x7f52f61a96ba start_thread #18 0x7f52df8583dd clone r8: 000000000000002e r9: 0000563bd9ba76ec r10: 0000000000000000 r11: 00007f52df8e5f50 r12: 00007f5252ffaff0 r13: 0000000000000008 r14: 0000000000000008 r15: 00007f5252ffaeb0 di: 0000000000000000 si: 00007f5252ffaeb0 bp: 00007f5252ffaf00 bx: 00007f5252ffaeb0 dx: 0000000000000061 ax: 0000000000000000 cx: 0000563bdce92c30 sp: 00007f5252ffae60 ip: 0000563bd8150dc8 efl: 0000000000010206 cgf: 0000000000000033 erf: 0000000000000004 trp: 000000000000000e msk: 0000000000000000 cr2: 0000000000000010 [end of stack trace] Calling _exit(1).

Chrome version: 59.0.3071.109 Channel: stable OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Flash Version: Note that I have to delete ~/.config/chromium to get the browser to work again, but how long it will then work for before it again crashes is anyone's guess.
