Hi.

I have just started learning the basics of WebGL and one of the first
things that I did was to run the WebGL conformance tests on the machines
that I have at my disposal:

https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/webgl-conformance-tests.html

On my Phenon II X4 system with a (very) old Radeon card, a lot of tests
don't pass, but I don't see anything hanging.

OTOH, on my notebooks (both this Core 2 Duo and a SandyBridge one), one
particular test hangs 100% the browsers that I have tried and the tests
don't finish at all.  The problematic test is:

https://www.khronos.org/registry/webgl/sdk/tests/conformance/glsl/bugs/temp-expressions-should-not-crash.html

To rule out any particular configuration problems, I have started everything
from fresh (read: "removed") profiles, keep my systems updated to sid and
tested with 3 browsers on the 2 notebooks:

* Chromium 43.0.2357.132 (but the problem still happens with 44.0.2403.107-1)
* Iceweasel 40.0~b3-1 (and the ESR version 38.1.0esr-3)
* Google's Chrome 44.0.2403.125-1

All of them resulted in inoperant browsers.

Is there anybody that can reproduce the bug? Is there anything else that I
can provide to track down what is the problem?


Thanks,

Rogério Brito.
