On Ubuntu Natty, chromium is no longer able to restart with a session.
On startup, it shows all the expected tabs, starts to spin, and stays there (all tabs remains empty), and the cpu sky rockets, forever.

I initially thought it had to do with gcc 4.5, so i loaded a gcc 4.4 build of the same revision (that worked on Maverick with the same profile), same problem. I've loaded a week old gcc 4.4 build (oct 23), same thing. So it may be something else in natty.

I can start and use a new tab or new window, but i can't reopen with the tabs from the previous session. It's the same with 3 other profiles i have (so it's not just one being corrupted).

I tried to dig into this. It looks like an infinite loop of some kind, but i'm not sure how to debug this. Each time i interrupt it in gdb, the trace is different (tcmalloc, libxcb, cairo, ssl, glib, ...)

any idea how i can proceed?
