Oh also, sorry for the extra email, but I just noticed that my webkit2gtk build is like 3 GB of size (!) no wonder why it doesn't crash, with that size that's the least thing I'd expect haha. But I can't definitely distribute that. So yeah, does anyone know what is the build command line for a production build? The usual size is around 50 MB :)
