That's an option, of course. I don't know what else you could try;
maybe try the 9999 gnome-shell version? I know the crash is happening
in spidermonkey, but perhaps te live version of gnome-shell avoids
that code path?

The code for 3.2.1 cannot be *that* different from the live version.
Maybe it's worth a try.
