chromium-browser often crashes on page open, including chrome://settings

[Eliah Kagan]

In chromium-browser 36.0.1985.125-0ubuntu2 on my Utopic i386 system (fully up to date as of this report), some pages always cause the browser to crash.

chrome://settings is one of these pages (which makes effective browser usage difficult).

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

outdated debug symbol package for libxshmfence1: package version 1.1-3 dbgsym version 1.1-2

Please upgrade your system to the latest package versions. If you still
encounter the crash, please file a new report.

Thank you for your understanding, and sorry for the inconvenience!
