OLPC has fixed a problem with the Browse and Epiphany web browsers on the XO-1 laptops.

Browse and Epiphany may stop suddenly.

This began to be common when using google.com, late in 2014, and early in 2015.

On XO-1.5, XO-1.75 and XO-4, the problem does not occur.

Upgrade to 14.1.0 once it is released.

Use another search engine.

or

Upgrade the webkitgtk3 package:

XO-1 uses the Geode processor which does not have full SSE support.

WebKit began using SSE instructions for certain floating point operations.

google.com began using JavaScript elements with floating point arithmetic.
