Bug 805173 - Enable HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption for chrome processes on Windows. r=mhowell,tjr
This is an exploit mitigation which causes the Windows system allocator to abort in the event it is in a corrupted state, rather than attempt to proceed in a potentially exploitable state.
Because we use jemalloc, this only affects system libraries or plugins which still use the system allocator.
The has been enabled on our content processes for a while without incident.
