When you change the < in the javascript your forcing it to clear the mason cache. Once you've changed it to >, did you re-request page1 again before page2, retracing your steps. It might seem silly, but it's the most likely reason I can think of your change from < to > making a difference. You could also try adding MORE < clauses to the javascript after it's segfaulted and see if it runs again afterwards. That would certainly destroy any possibility of it being <s causing the problem.
