epiphany-webkit crashed with SIGSEGV in strlen()

[James Snyder]

Binary package hint: epiphany-browser

Installed epiphany-webkit, click on the default ubuntu page to go to any other website and it stalls then crashes.

Problem appears to be caused by having gcjwebplugin installed. The following errors appear in the console that epiphany was launched from:
GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x1cab520: NP_Initialize
GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x1cab520: NP_Initialize: using /usr/lib/classpath/gappletviewer.
GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x1cab520: NP_Initialize return
GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x1cab520: NP_GetMIMEDescription
GCJ PLUGIN: thread 0x1cab520: NP_GetMIMEDescription return
zsh: segmentation fault (core dumped) epiphany

Also removing gcjwebplugin prevents the crash from happening.

This is on the AMD64 version of Intrepid.

I can confirm this using Intrepid updated Oct-20.
