Comment:

 Our current guess is that these crash bugs are due to issues with the
 official Debian build machines, or with Debian's toolchain. Builds
 compiled on Ubuntu do not crash. At all.

 If someone reproduces
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torbrowser.git/blob/maint-2.4:/docs/buildmachine_setups/linux-x86.txt
 on a Debian machine and lets us know how crashy the result is, that would
 be a useful datapoint to tell us if it is specific to our build machines,
 or specific to Debian's compilers.

 Again, following that same doc on Ubuntu does not produce crashy builds.
 Nor does following the Gitian instructions at
 https://gitweb.torproject.org/builders/tor-browser-
 bundle.git/blob/HEAD:/gitian/README.build.
