Safari Crash / Bug Webkit # 16196
April 23, 2008
I’ve been seeing this type of crash fairly often in Safari now. Not necessarily the same situation every time, but the culprit is almost always Javascript – not bad javascript – Safari just doesn’t like it.
Here’s a stack trace:

For anyone blogging and trying to paste content into the blogger Compose post window, good luck in Safari!

Looks like WebKit folks are working on it, there’s an Apple bug filed as well. This bug leads to crashes. If it’s happening for you, know that you are not alone or crazy. Writing browsers ain’t easy!
I heart WebKit team.
