Session restore fails on double-crash

Reported by ericu@chromium.org, May 12 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 59.0.3071.47
OS Version: Debian Jessie
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested: N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Kill Chrome [in my case by having X crash]
2. Restart Chrome; note the "restore tabs" button.
3. Before you can restore them, kill Chrome again.
4. Restart Chrome; note the lack of a "restore tabs" button.

What is the expected result?

I'd like to be able to restore my tabs, even if Chrome dies before I get the chance the first time around.

What happens instead of that?

As it is I can hunt through my history, but it's a mixture of stuff I visited and tabs I had open, in no particular order, and no grouped by window.  It's actually easier for me to snag windows from my other devices, whose open windows are grouped nicely in the history UI, than it is to restore my old state.

This just hit me again today, as I was debugging an issue with X.  It's really annoying, as I usually have dozens of tabs in a bunch of windows, and some of them are quite long-lived.  I'd maybe call this a feature request, but to me it feels like a bug in session restore, that it's so fragile.  This may be the same as crbug/657727, but I'm not sure I'm reading that one right.

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Unable to reproduce this issue on Ubuntu 14.04 using chrome latest M59-59.0.3071.47 by following steps mentioned in the original comment. Observed restore button is displayed and by clicking on restore button it opens the tabs which was previously opened before crashing.

ericu@ Could you please confirm is this issue is observed only on Debian Jessie? Is this used to work before on #59.0.3071.36?
