[issue46489] webbrowser crashes Ubuntu kernel

Never mind.

I had a crash today with no Python involved. At least, no webbrowser lib was 
running. Although Python webbrowser lib surely triggers the issue I have with 
my system. Need to find the origin somewhere else.

Please report back if someone else experiences the same issue. Closed for time 
being.

Best,
Danylo

[issue46489] webbrowser crashes Ubuntu kernel

[Danylo]

New submission from Danylo :

I've been hunting this problem for half a year already. With other hypotheses 
rejected - Linux issue, old PC, PyCharm bug, bad luck, - the webbrowser Python 
lib supposedly makes the Ubuntu kernel panic.

Either from a terminal or within PyCharm (happens on both), I run

```
controller = webbrowser.get('google-chrome')
for link in links_list:  # up to 10 items
controller.open(link)
time.sleep(1)
```

and the system crashes (hangs until a hard or soft reset) after several web 
pages are opened in my Chrome browser as the result of running the program.

All the details you'll find at 
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1370213/ubuntu-hangs-and-becomes-unresponsive-until-reset.
 I first thought it's something wrong with Ubuntu, and I opened a question on 
the forum.

The only detail I've not added there is that after each crash I can move the 
mouse on the screen but cannot interact with anything. That thing always 
puzzled me.

I can neither say the website I'm running the webbrowser nor test it on other 
domains - the issue happens sporadically, once in several hours of me opening 
and closing a Chrome browser controlled by the webbrowser lib.

Python 3.9.7, installed with Anaconda. I've tried older versions of Python.

Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
