Hi Dave,
  Any news on this yet? If there's anything that needs tweaking in
VMD to make it get along with the latest revs of Chromium I need to know
very soon or it won't make it into the final release of VMD 1.8.2.
Is it possible for you to trace through this using GDB on your machine
such that you can do a "where" in GDB when the crash occurs?

Thanks,
  John Stone
