BTW I can consistently reproduce it just by trying to log in http://twitter.com

[Sergio Villar Senin]

OK, so I've just realized that it only happens if I'm using the patch for bug 107432.

Dan, is there any problem on mixing async and sync calls for accessing a given stream? (that patch is synchronously closing a stream that have been read asynchronously).

[Dan Winship]

It's supposed to work... and if it was going to fail, I wouldn't expect it to fail like this, which looks like a refcounting problem or something... double-check that there isn't something else wrong in the sync close patch?

I got some slightly different backtraces, most of them when loading resources synchronously, which requires some push/pop_thread magic. Could it be related to that?

Please ignore. I fat-fingered a bug number.

[Sergio Villar Senin]

OK I found what's going on. So there was a mixture of things. There is a bug in libsoup which was somehow uncovered by the patch for https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107432.

But I think there is also a bug in our network stack for synchronous requests. We directly stop the inner main loop we create to emulate synchronous requests in didFinishLoading() but we do not check if we have pending sources in that context we create.

Okay. This seems reasonable.
