Repro:
<script>
oWin = window.open('repro.gif');
setTimeout(function() {
  var oBody = oWin.document.body;
  oWin.document.open();
  oWin.document.createRange().surroundContents(oBody);
  oWin.document.close();
}, 1000);
</script>
Repro.gif must be a file served with an image mime type, eg. "image/gif", but which is not a valid image. That way Chromium creates an ImageDocument in the same domain as the main document, but the image element can become NULL.

Here's the problem:
CachedImage* ImageDocument::cachedImage()
{ 
    if (!m_imageElement)
        createDocumentStructure();
    
    return m_imageElement->cachedImage();
}

This code assumes that if m_imageElement is NULL, createDocumentStructure() will set m_imageElement to something non-NULL. However, it appears this is not the case if the image is invalid, which can lead to NULL ptrs.

Cannot reproduce on latest stable (16.0.912.63) or dev (17.0.962.0) on Win7.

Agreed - I cannot reproduce this anymore either.
