Bug#399322: epiphany-browser: hangs when trying to display local filesystem directory

Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 2.14.3-3
Severity: normal

When trying to view a local filesystem directory; it grabs near 100% CPU
resources, displays nothing and the only way to halt the process is with a
SIGKILL.

Viewing local files with the full-path (including non-existent files) works,
but a directory listing causes a hang each time.  (Firefox works as expected,
if that is relevant.)

To reproduce from command line:

    # hangs
    epiphany file:///$HOME
    # OK -- page not found
    epiphany file:///$HOME/nofilehere 

or enter a filesystem directory URI in the Address Entry field.

Attached is the tail end of a strace.
