I worked out the problem. Looking more closely at the crash log:
Thread 5 Crashed:
0 com.apple.JavaScriptCore 0x003a7c19 JSObjectIsFunction + 9
1 com.apple.CFNetwork 0x96f719f3 JSObjectIsFunction + 190
2 com.apple.CFNetwork 0x96f5ac36 _callPACFunction + 131
3 com.apple.CFNetwork 0x96f5c4a7 _JSFindProxyForURLAsync +

_CFNetworkProxyListForURLAsync + 771
5 com.apple.CFNetwork 0x96f1e50e constructProxyList + 326
I noticed reference to a proxy. The problem only manifests when you're behind
a proxy server. I use a PAC file so that when I access online scientific
journals, I get routed through Stanford, and thus have Stanford access to those
journals. I just removed the reference to the PAC file in the system
preferences, and the crash no longer occurs. If it's relevant, the PAC file
(referenced by URL) is:
http://library.stanford.edu/apcproxy/suproxy.pac
I presume this means the bug is in CFNetwork, not Webkit, and that I should
file a radar, and this should be marked as INVALID?
I've noticed at least two other bugs in Leopard with regard to PAC files (Adobe
updater takes up all available RAM behind a proxy, and dmnotifyd also takes up
all available memory after waking from sleep (see
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1287849&tstart=0)), so these
may all be related.
