Well, in my case it sometimes crashes. There is also a specific 
notorious site which can hang it systematically.

Due to my limited available time, and the fact that I'm running with a 
patch (see https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=222356), I 
never bothered to debug it (or just make something out of its cores).

AFAICT that patch will be soon obsolete; after I'm back to a somewhat 
official version, I'll surely dig into this, if the issue persist.
