Because int 3 is almost always macro'd out in release builds, this almost certainly means some piece of code is confused and failing gracefully (sort of) by intentionally halting. From the google code analysis, it looks like it has something to do with URL handling that lives in the parent process of all the tab children. This code is quite impressive for a first release. fyi, int 3 is the debug breakpoint interrupt.
