Trying to use incognito profile sometimes might lead to a crash

Reported by pa...@yandex-team.ru, Oct 7 2016

Issue description

Device name: Nexus 4

From "Settings > About Chrome"
Application version: 53.0.2785.124
OS: Android 5.1.1

When you close all incognito tabs the browser tries to destroy incognito profile, but because of asynchronous nature of this process if there would be any client that tries to request a pointer for incognito profile for the current profile will get a pointer to an object that is destroyed in an unpredictable moment of time.
Personally I observed this crash inside ChromeAutocompleteProviderClient, Unfortunately it is very rare and hard to reproduce.

Behavior in Android Browser (if applicable):
Crash when typing in omnibox immediately after closing incognito tab.


Steps to reproduce:
(1) Open incognito tab
(2) Close tab
(3) Start typing in omnibox

Expected result:
No crash

Actual result:
Crash

Hello

Thanks for reporting the issue. However, we could not repro this issue on Nexus 4/LMY48T, Chrome: 53.0.2785.124.
Status: WontFix (was: Assigned)
We haven't seen this crash and there have been many changes in the code base since 2016, so I'm going to close this out.  If you can repro and we can get a crash id from chrome://crashes/ then we can investigate more.
