Reported by dominic.snisit, May 05, 2009
 Individual Name:
- dominicblais  (dominic@snisit.com)

 SDK Version:
- 0.1 April 23 2009

 Runtime Version:
- 0.1 (10916299)

 Operating System/Browser
-  Mac OS X 10.5.6, Intel 32-bit / Firefox 3.0.9


Description:

A segfault in the nativeclient code causes a crash/freeze in Firefox.  While mostly an 
inconvenience at this point, this will provide a significant barrier to adoption of nativeclient as a 
plugin.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. (Optional) Compile test6.c, which deliberately dereferences a NULL pointer.
2. Open test6.html

I tried this; the browser hung until I manually killed sel_ldr. If you see something
different please let me know.

This is a low priority defect and requires revisions to the IMC or SRPC mechanisms to
support timeouts. We are in the midst of some major reworking of our IPC
infrastructure and that should be the ultimate resolution to this issue.

This should get fixed with Pepper, right?
