These sites work fine here. I think they might be sending you different 
content, perhaps containing localised text, based on your IP address 
which is tripping up the simple text backend. I get a similar crash when 
I visit http://www.wikipedia.com/

The issue goes away if you use the experimental Pango patch for all text 
rendering, so it looks like it's a bug in the simple text code path. 
Perhaps it's failing to recognise strings of text that it doesn't support.
