Yes, but I'm not sure who to open it with.

There doesn't seem to be an issue with visiting www.apple.com with the
simple browser window under Leopard; on Snow Leopard, I crashed at
0x5ab447628ca4; the #x...8ca4 part of that address is similar enough
to the address where you crashed that it seems likely that we're
looking at the same thing.  I attached to the process inGDB, set a
breakpoint there, got to that address, and tried to see how I got there:

Breakpoint 1, 0x00005ab447628ca4 in ?? ()
(gdb) x/i $pc
0x5ab447628ca4:	(bad) 
(gdb) up
#1  0x00007fff8592f9a2 in JSC::Interpreter::execute ()
(gdb) 
Initial frame selected; you cannot go up.

I assume that JSC::Interpreter::execute () is part of a JavaScript interpreter.

I'd be pretty confident in saying that nothing that the lisp does intentionally
affects the behavior of a JavaScript interpreter.  I can't say that it's not
unintentionally causing it to call a bogus address, but ... well, I can't say
anything too useful.

I was curious about what method the lisp had last called;

> UNAMBIGUOUS-MESSAGE (SHARED-INITIALIZE :AFTER (OBJC-DISPATCH-FUNCTION

doesn't really tell us, and I'd made a change that was supposed to
replace that closure with a uniquely- (and possibly more
meaningfully-) named function.  The lisp that I had on Snow Leopard
was a little old, so I updated it and tried again; www.apple.com loaded
without incident, and (inconclusively) haven't been able to get it to
fail since.

Small sample size, but I have no idea what the bug is or whether CCL
is involved or not.  The webkit "example" is pretty minimal - it
sort of demonstrates that a few lines of code can create something
that's almost a web browser - but once it creates the window/web view/
URL request, there isn't obviously any lisp code involved.
