Comment:

 Sebastian/erinn: There is still too much magic sauce in our build process
 for me to reproduce this. The Mac OS Firefox builds I create (using the
 mozconfig Sebastian emailed me) do not have the crash bug in them, even
 with full patches applied.

 You guys are going to have to just binary search the patches themselves.
 Start with all of them, verify crash. Then cut that set in half, verify
 crash. If no crash, check other half. Repeat subdivision until only one
 patch remains. Tell me that patch.

 You don't have to build full TBBs for this. I am able to reproduce this
 simply by launching our Torbrowser.app in a vanilla Firefox profile.
 (Remember to set torbrowser.version to some random string in that
 profile).
