Thanks for testing.

Please keep in mind that the subject line and body of your message are
good places to put helpful details, like what the bug is about and
what steps you have performed in pursuit of a diagnosis or fix, to
save the reader time.

One log says

   [8:20:3139869964:ERROR:platform_thread_posix.cc(253)] Not implemented reached in static void base::PlatformThread::SetThreadPriority(base::PlatformThreadHandle, base::ThreadPriority)
   [New Thread 0x7fffd14ab700 (LWP 10348)]

   Program received signal SIGINT, Interrupt.
   0x00007ffff0ce9863 in *__GI___poll (fds=<optimized out>, nfds=<optimized out>, timeout=3265) at ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c:87
   87	../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c: No such file or directory.
   	in ../sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/poll.c

The first line seems to be due to <http://crbug.com/116172> and is
probably a red herring.

In another log, we see

   [New Thread 0x7fffd9556700 (LWP 5043)]

   Program received signal SIGPIPE, Broken pipe.
   [Switching to Thread 0x7fffe5f9a700 (LWP 4843)]
   0x00007ffff42086bd in sendmsg () at ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S:82
   	in ../sysdeps/unix/syscall-template.S

And in another:

  [Switching to Thread 0xa92a8b70 (LWP 7695)]
  Couldn't get registers: Proces bestaat niet.

So it's not clear what actually is happening when the "Aw, snap"
occurs.  http://crbug.com/116959 has some advice for getting a more
useful backtrace; other ideas welcome, too.

Hope that helps,
Jonathan
