I really, really wish that I had any reliable reproducer for this
problem. None of my Intel machines seem to trigger it.
If anyone can come up with, say, a specific web page that introduces
this corruption every time, I'd be _thrilled_.
I can't say for sure if this is the case, but I have seen it much more
often after I have used flash. (I typically keep flash disabled in
midori and only enable it when I specifically want it).
Just tried loading a yourtube video here and I'm not getting the
corruption yet, so it's clearly not a 100% thing. ;(
