I've tried with and without epiphany-extensions installed. Also, at
first I thought it was some Javascript related bug, but disabling it
doesn't help.

Can you tell me how to do that? I mean, I have basic knowledge of GDB
but I've never had to debug threaded applications. On the other hand,
this looks like a good opportunity to learn something ;-)
I'll try and see what I can find out and let you know.
