...And now for a more mundane, and tiresomely repetitive regression...

"Serious error". Every time, without fail. Same computer and archive
as in my last report.

The log (same every time) says:

"render/html.c", line 1269: html_object_callback: Assertion failed: 0

2.9 works.

Instant crashes with this particular website have been reported on three
separate previous occasions:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3182729&group_id=51719&atid=464312

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3238323&group_id=51719&atid=464312

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3376796&group_id=51719&atid=464312

Each time, the bug was fixed, only for another version a few months
down the line to introduce a different bug which also caused NetSurf to
crash on sight of that site. It appears this cycle has now gone round
for a fourth time.

I've never had problems of this scale with any other site. Whatever
andyfanton.com does, NetSurf really doesn't like it!

In the interests of preventing this regression occurring a fifth time,
perhaps 'Jenkins' could be amended to make sure NetSurf can cope with a
fetch and display of that specific page? Stopping regressions what
automated testing is for, right?
