I know, and that's why I asked for the reproducer :)

The stack trace of the UAF is valid though (and pretty much identical
to the one in Farhad's report). I was just trying to point out that
it's very likely the same bug.

Yes, I saw your and Mark's replies, and you're clearly many steps ahead :)
In hindsight, I admit I was lazy and didn't bother to look further - partly
because I thought it would be easier to investigate once I had the reproducer.

If I could go back in time and start doing this kind of work 20 years
ago (or even 10), I would. It certainly helps figure things out much
faster when you've been doing this for a long time and also know how
the code evolved over the years.
