[webkit-dev] safari crashes on winXP

[Paul Lewis]

I believe the trunk builds of Apples Windows WebKit port are not 
compatible with the currently released Safari beta on Windows.

I think WebKit revision r26759 from 19th October as listed on the 
Nightly build page is the latest compatible version.

http://nightly.webkit.org/
