------- Additional Comments from Akos Kiss <akiss at inf.u-szeged.hu>
Thanks for not letting me get sloppy!

It turned out that my x86-64/Ubuntu 14.04 desktop machine was trying too
heavily to parallelize the execution of the layout tests, which resulted in
random crashes. After specifying --child-processes=3 for run-webkit-tests, the
results became stable, both before and after applying the patch.

After bumping-up the libs, http/tests/media/video-redirect.html became
crashing. By tracing back the error, it turned out that a bug has been hiding
in gst-plugins-base in the .mov demuxing. (This is interesting, since neither
gstreamer nor gst-plugins-base has been touched during the bump-up. This bug
has been there for a while, only did not reveal itself, hitherto.) Fortunately,
a one-line fix already exists and got accepted in gstreamer upstream.

Now, this version of the patch introduces no regressions on x86-64 anymore, and
builds on Aarch64.
