Hmm, the webkit thing seems to have at least yet another bug :-(. The  
bug doesn't occur on my most recent debug build of libwebkitgtk-3.0-0.
But I could reproduce the crash several times today with the release  
build. The crash was on different code locations and with completely  
different stack traces.
Further research is needed here...

I don't believe that we would have much benefit of any stack trace on  
this bug.
I'm still using the Kernel 3.2.23 with the futex patch [2] compiled  
with GCC4.4. Yet another ia64 problem.
