Epiphany 2.21 crashes with http authentication

[Gustavo Carneiro]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Epiphany 2.21 crashes (SIGSEGV) when openining a web site that requires http authentication. Sometimes instead of crashing it enters a livelock and I have to kill it myself.

I'm afraid I can't offer much details; it crashes inside xulrunner, for which there are no debug packages :-(
I'm on ubuntu amd64. Epiphany 2.21.4 (gecko). Stack trace is useless:

Hi Gustavo
Thanks for your bug report. Please try to obtain a backtrace following the instructions at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingProgramCrash and attach the file to the bug report. This will greatly help us in tracking down your problem.

By the way you could check if you have a ".crash" file related to this crash, if so, please follow these instuctions to have apport report a new bug about your crash that can be dealt with by the automatic retarcer.

If you are using Ubuntu with the Gnome desktop environment - launch nautilus and navigate to your /var/crash directory and double click on the crash report you wish to submit.
If you are using Kubuntu or Xubuntu you can file the crash using "/usr/share/apport/apport-qt --crash-file=/var/crash/_my_crash_report.crash" in a terminal - where _my_crash_report.crash is the crash you would like to report.

if you do indeed have a .crash file we can close this bug report since the process outlined above will automatically open a new bug report which can then dealt with more efficiently.

Thanks in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
