Latest ChromeDriver hangs with Chrome unstable channel

Project Member Reported by wychen@chromium.org, Apr 6 2016 
Version: ChromeDriver 2.21, Selenium 2.53.0, Chrome unstable channel 51.0.2693.2 dev (64-bit)

OS: Goobuntu 14.04

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Download and install Selenium and ChromeDriver
(2) Download min.py from attachment
(3) Run this command:
PATH=$PATH:/path/to/dir/containing/chromedriver ./min.py

What is the expected output?
After running it, a new Chrome window should appear, and it should visit google.com.

What do you see instead?
The window just hangs there, without visiting anything. The url bar shows "data:,".

It works if downgrading ChromeDriver to 2.15. It also works if using stable channel (49.0.2623.110 (64-bit)).

I'm not sure about other OSes.

More triaging:
Chrome 50.0.2661.66 beta (64-bit) works with ChromeDriver 2.21.
When using unstable (51.0.2693.2), ChromeDriver 2.16 works, but 2.17 fails.

Comment 2 by wychen@chromium.org, Apr 6 2016 

Since workaround exists (downgrading to ChromeDriver 2.16), this is not very urgent.

Interesting, I downgraded to ChromeDriver 2.16 and used Chrome Dev 54.0.2824.0 dev-m (64-bit) fails.

Starting ChromeDriver 2.16.333243 (0bfa1d3575fc1044244f21ddb82bf870944ef961) on port 16579

wychen@,

I executed your test on the latest Chrome unstable build v56.0.2914.3 (Official Build) dev (64-bit) with Chromedriver v2.25 and it looks good. Issue is not reproducible.

Can you please re-test on the latest versions and let us know if you still the issue?
