@Gareth: glad to know that you managed to sort out the crash, although it is worrisome and we should get to the bottom of it. No tinkering with the config directory should ever be needed.
@Giuseppe: if you can still reproduce the crash reliably, would you mind installing the debug symbols for chromium-browser (following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debug%20Symbol%20Packages#Debug_Symbol_Packages) and see if you get a more complete stacktrace?
