Bug#529991: *** glibc detected *** /usr/lib/iceweasel/firefox-bin: corrupted double-linked list: 0x000000000a492e50 ***

[Michael W. Fender]

I've found how to reproduce it.  It seems to only happen when you navigate 
through multiple pages on a tab.  If you only open 1 page, you can close it 
without problems.  This doesn't work for every website (Facebook works fine),  
but certainly Google and Wikipedia.  If I only do this in one open window (say 
have 2 open at the same time), do this in one will crash both.

Setup reported by Iceweasel:
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6) Gecko/20091216 
Iceweasel/3.5.6 (like Firefox/3.5.6; Debian-3.5.6-1)

kernel: 2.6.31-1-686
libc6: 2.10.2-2

Accessing file 9857.30656.991

The worst crime you can commit against another human being is to make them 
think.
