New issue 2147 by [email protected]: 'mksnapshot' tool SegFaults rather than Generate Error Messages
http://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=2147

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Edit chromium/src/v8/src/array.js and and 'error' to the last line.
2. build chrome
3. Notice the following output:

ACTION v8_snapshot_run_mksnapshot out/Release/obj.target/v8_snapshot/geni/snapshot.cc /bin/sh: line 1: 26783 Segmentation fault ".../chromium/src/out/Release/mksnapshot" --log-snapshot-positions --logfile ".../chromium/src/out/Release/obj.target/v8_snapshot/geni/snapshot.log" ".../chromium/src/out/Release/obj.target/v8_snapshot/geni/snapshot.cc"
make: *** [out/Release/obj.target/v8_snapshot/geni/snapshot.cc] Error 139

I would have expected a useful error message rather than a seg-fault. Any error in any of the javascript source files results in a seg-fault rather than an error message. This make developing new snapshotted code extremely difficult.
