Ok, I managed to reproduce this on another machine.  I have a vague
idea of what the problem is.  It's in the way Spidermonkey is storing
strings.  Apparently, on the systems which are failing, Spidermonkey
was built with
JS_C_STRINGS_ARE_UTF8.
When Spidermonkey gets a string which isn't valid UTF8, it segfaults.
The problem is that I don't know how to detect whether a given
installation of Spidermonkey was compiled this way.
As far as I know, it's a compile-time setting, and there is no way to
detect it at runtime.
