no such window: target window already closed\nfrom unknown error: web view not found

Message: u'no such window: target window already closed\nfrom unknown error: 
web view not found\n  (Session info: chrome=29.0.1508.0)\n  (Driver info: 
chromedriver=0.8,platform=Linux 3.2.5-gg1130 x86_64)'

renderer/browser does not crash when this exception occurs, and I couldn't find 
a site that repros this consistently, leading me to think it's a race condition 
in page load logic. But you can easily hit this if you navigate to large number 
of URLs.

This is also both on desktop (linux) and Android with ToT server.

When running the case using firefox, no exception will throw and the case can 
run successfully.

This is causing intermittent failures in our Cucumber CI tests

I was able to reproduce this by triggering a page load timeout (find a slow 
page and put a low timeout on it).  After the page fails to load, attempts to 
close the browser window will fail with an error saying "no such window: target 
window already closed..." despite the fact that the window is still open.

This causes a number of problems.  Ideally the browser would still be usable 
after a page timeout.

Faced same issue by using Chrome | FF.
Can you increase issue priority?

Thank you.

I could see the similar issue with CentOS6.5 - Chrome 35 combination .
Shall we increase the page load time? Is there any ripple effect for that ?
