Good. We've been compiling with GCC4 for quite some time, which ensures
that the code is automatically ARMv7 compatible. It occurs to me that
noone's actually verified that the one bit of assembler (the Artworks
binding) in the NetSurf sources is ARMv7 ready. Perhaps someone with an
interest might take a look.

Most likely, it's exploding in Tinct, which is not ARMv7 ready.
Unfortunately, we are not in a position to fix this as we don't have
access to the sources for that module.
I tried it again tonight, and, lo and behold, no crash on the
BBC News website. Nor El Reg, Slashdot, Maplin, and a few
others.
If it continues to not break, I'll remove my bug report!
