As I said the app hung then crashed, which means that I don't know why it hung and I don't know why it crashed, which means that I don't know how to reproduce it. It's kind of pointless to ask for a backtrace for something I don't know how to do. Sorry. If you can't work with what you've got then I guess it'll have to stay like that.

I'll close this bug report for now then, as there isn't enough information to work out what the problem is. I'm sure you'll appreciate that "hangs then crashes" isn't enough information isolate the problem.

If you can recreate the crash and provide a backtrace, or describe the steps to trigger the crash, then please feel free to reopen this bug report.

Thanks

steps to reproduce would have been:

1) open browser
2) navigate internet until app hangs
3) wait for it to crash

...but what you're effectively saying is "works as designed" so we'll leave it there.
