Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

If it helps, this happened to me, when I had open:
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Meet+Jenkins
https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Plugins
Then tried opening a new tab with
https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins/blob/master/LICENSE.txt

Leafpad & Lxterminal (idle) were the only other apps running, on a recent install.

Here is another way to reproduce the bug. Try installing and running
https://github.com/nicooprat/Css2Less
Pretty simple, but requires a few ruby gems, like sinatra.

Closing now as this report wasn’t investigated timely and is now too old to be meaningful.
Please do not hesitate to report crashes occurring with recent releases of chromium-browser, they will hopefully be investigated and acted upon in a more timely manner.
