I'm no expert but I thought Gecko was a rendering engine.  No doubt I am
completely wrong.  Epiphany is definitely based on Mozilla so perhaps
we're onto something...  The funny thing is that Mozilla is the only browser
of the three that _doesn't_ crash on 'save to file'!  

I'm too tired and try and grok it right now but as soon as I get anywhere
I'll post a follow-up here.

Thanks to all for their ideas so far.
