Sites https://www.yahoo.com/ and http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/ have
since been mentioned as triggering PaleMoon crashes and I have also
found the same crashing problem with those sites.

I've now built PaleMoon with clang as suggested by montagdude (see
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/palemoon-from-source-slackbuild-4175605127/page3.html#post5706820).
I left it running overnight with the rogue sites loaded in separate
tabs. All still running OK this morning.

Building with clang looks like a good solution.
