trace with JIT disabled

First of all, I forgot to mention that I'm on amd64.

With JIT disabled, there's this different trace.

Just checked the status of this issue:

Crashes still happen with 1.1.10.

No crashes with 1.1.11 and 1.1.12.

It seems whatever caused it was fixed in WebKitGTK+ 1.1.11.
