Bug description:
  [ Description ]

  I think this happened on any page which uses JS. An upstream bug
  (linked from here) in the JS JIT results in segfaults.

  [ Test case ]

  On an armhf machine, try

    /usr/lib/webkitgtk-3.0-0/libexec/GtkLauncher
  "http://news.bbc.co.uk/"

  it should briefly open a window and then segfault before the fix, and
  successfully load the webpage after.

  Also try the slideshow that prompted this bug report in the first
  place

    bzr branch lp:ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu
    cd ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu
    ./Slideshow.py --path=build/ubuntu --controls

  again you should see a segfault (coming from webkit) before, and a
  lovely slideshow after.

  [ Regression Potential ]

  This might make webkit a bit slower on armel/hf. It shouldn't be too
  bad, but perhaps exercise a bit by browsing around in epiphany-browser
  to see.
