Here's another separate issue that typically causes fault on memory access
to website-influenced memory access:

http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/ffoxdie3.html

This is separate from the previously presented example (which, remarkably,
also had a tendency to trigger an unrelated call stack overflow due to XML
parsing glitch on some platforms, which caused some confusion - my bad).

Note that because it depends on timing more heavily, it may not work in
the first shot on all computers (though it should).
