This crash only recently started appearing in Chromium crash reports, so I can only assume it's a regression.

http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8413 is the Chromium bug.

This bug does not seem to reproduce anymore on TOT.  I think Hotmail changed its behavior rather than WebKit bug being fixed because I tried on three different generations of WebKit and didn't reproduce on any of them.

Looks like we cannot do anything about this bug now, resolving.
