Sigh. Attaching backtrace committed the description. I don't see any way to edit. I'll try again.

Next browser use webkit2gtk (version 2.24.1-1 installed), which in turn, depends on glib2 (version 2.60.1-1 installed). The traceback for the Next browser crash is attached. But the traceback isn't as helpful as the observation that the process had 1024 sockets open at the time of the crash.

Chased this down to a socket leak in glib2. That leak has been fixed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/commit/bdefe5f9e1eb739043ae19ac57fb00e905f482e2.

I've rebuild glib2 locally with that patch. It does seem to resolve the isuse.

The patch you linked is already part of glib 2.60.3.
