I've been working on a test all morning.  In fact, I did all of this precisely
to try and generate a layout test:

http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/41211

However, now that the Qt port can do such a slow loading tests, I haven't been
able to come up with one that causes the crash.  Here's why:

The theory behind the crash is that if the user stops the loading while the
preloader is active, then this results in a crash.

However, with a layout test I can not automate this stoppage of loading since
I'd have to be able to do it via JavaScript.  Well, no JavaScript is executed
in this preloading stage.  That's the whole point of the preloader actually. 
While a script is loading the preloader goes ahead and continues tokenizing and
initiates the network loading of other resources, but it does not allow to
execute scripts out of order.  Thus, while a script is loading and the
tokenizer is thus blocked, I can not programmatically stop the load via
JavaScript.

I don't know how to get around this.
