Changing theme with many tabs open causes a hang+eventual crash

Reported by anowlcal...@gmail.com, Jul 6 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/59.0.3071.115 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Have a large number of tabs open (IIRC I had around 140, with many in incognito mode and spread throughout several windows -- Chrome was using around 8–10 GB of RAM at that point)
2. Go to chrome://settings and click "Use Classic" (under Appearance/Themes)
3. Observe that Chrome is frozen: pressing ctrl-tab, ctrl-T etc. update the window title, but no content within any Chrome window updates. One CPU core is also being held at 100%.
4. Attempt to open a new tab via the Ubuntu launcher
5. Crash Chrome

What is the expected behavior?
I would expect theme changes to be unaffected by how many Chrome tabs I have open.

What went wrong?
Changing theme when there are many tabs open in many windows causes the browser to hang for several minutes, then crash (possibly as a result of another window being opened).

@anowlcalledjosh: Could you please try creating a new profile from chrome://settings with no apps and extensions and check if you still face the issue?

If so please add a crash served I'd by navigating to chrome://crashes. That would help us in further triaging of the issue.

Thanks!!
