This should be easy to fix once we can reproduce/reduce it. I think it's possibly just a nil check needed.

This appears to be caused by the call to renderer() on line 213 of HTMLTextAreaElement.cpp returning null. I haven't been able to determine if the correct solution is to figure out why it's null and fix that, or to just add an if(renderer) check in.
