This means exactly that the browser tab has crashed (it resides in a
separate sandboxed process).

Well, I found additional issues with Chromium, so it seems important to

to fix the issue by just moving libs around, without understanding the
problem (Chromium is now almost 17M LOCS, not good for guessing).
