Bug Description

When I start "surf https://www.google.com" surf reports a webkit crash:

This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 264 error_code 2 request_code 152 (GLX) minor_code 34)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
web process terminated: crashed

I have been able to reproduce this error on many other sites (not just google.com), but it doesn't crash on simple html sites (such as http://neverssl.com and https://isitfridayyet.com). Disabling images (-i option on surf), does not resolve the crash.

I have been able to reproduce this crash on simple GTK webkit demo-applications, suggesting this is not caused by surf, but by webkit-gtk instead.
