no good steps to reproduce listed in the bug, but the backtrace is pretty clear as to what's happening. as a result, i could not devise a layout test to that elicited the crash

patch to stop a crasher

Seems to me that makeRange should probably return 0 if passed null positions. And plainText already handles the case where the range is 0. So I would suggest fixing this in the makeRange function rather than in the AccessibilityObject class.
