I upgraded this morning, and my Selenium tests broke.

I was able to reproduce this problem with the Python getting started script from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/getting-started (altered to set the path to `/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver`):

```
virtualenv -p python3 venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install selenium
python script.py
```

Running `ps aux | grep chrom` in another tab shows `Z+ 15:51 0:00 [chromium-browse] <defunct>`, and eventually the script times out with `selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally`.

Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH first fixes it: `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/chromium-browser`.
