capture call from Greasemonkey crashes Firefox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have a simple GM script which all it does is attempt to capture a file
using Localserver. The file does get captured, but the browser crashes.
Unclear whether this is a GM or a Gears problem. Note that on Mac the
browser just crashes, whereas on Win, it gets generally confused and stops
loading pages.

I attached a GM script to show this:
1) Install GM
2) Install the attached script
3) Go to a Wikipedia page (ex. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)
4) Click on "Enable Page Offline" link at the bottom of the page
5) Grant permission to use Gears
6) Reload the page

Given that this is a reproable crash, setting it at a high pri level - feel
free to demote.

I've attached an even simpler test case. It looks like "new GearsFactory()" is 
what
causes the crash. I also noticed a log message in the Javascript console about a
Gears dylib not being found.
