In Raspbian Jessie, running Midori (or any WebKit1-based browser) and
browsing to any JS-heavy website quickly causes a browser crash.

In Raspbian Wheezy, recompiling the webkit package from source (to get
v2.4.7 of libwebkitgtk-1.0-0, as the Pi Foundation provide only an
updated build of libwebkitgtk-3.0-0) results in similar behaviour.

The bug can be resolved by disabling the JIT at compile time.

The issue is discussed in Debian bug #651636 (https://bugs.debian.org
/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=651636), but they're reluctant to fix it in
upstream as it may be only an issue for ARMv6.

Can you please apply my patch shown at the bottom of the Debian bug
report to the Raspbian flavour of the source package, at least in
Jessie?

(I have not verified whether this bug affects the Pi Foundation-supplied
binaries or not.  The bug does not affect v1.8.1 of libwebkit-1.0-0,
which AFAIK is still the official Raspbian Wheezy version.)
