Description Konrad Hinsen 2021-12-02 10:03:42 PST 
Example URL: "https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/navigateur"

Trying to open this URL (and many others) fails in all WebKitGTK-based browsers I could find in the Guix distribution. Surf and Nyxt report a crash, Epiphany hangs.

The simplest test case is Surf. The command line

   guix shell --container --network --preserve='^DISPLAY$' --expose=/etc/ssl/certs surf nss-certs -- surf https://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/navigateur

runs Surf in a container, opening the URL cited above. The output is

   web process terminated: crashed

Tested using Guix commit 32d5fb0, which contains WebKitGTK 2.34.1, but the same behavior is observed with WebKitGTK 2.32.4 (Guix commit a6ed7aeb2c).
