 That's a known problem (at least to me:-). Javascript in webkit
 does crash in any application using it (eg midori, liferea-current).
 (That's why I had left epiphany at 2.26.x all the time.)
 Unfortunately newer versions of epiphany and midori use javascript
 for some internal initialization even if it was disabled for www
 display in the preferences dialog.
 I've also tried webkit-1.1.22 but it is not better.
 (Next idea would be to compile it with a newer g++.)
 
 best regards
 Matthias
