Answer 2

Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case. We've tried the latest version of pdf.js from github, also tried Chrome 33 (stable) which should have their V8 fix included and it still crashes. Also, tried the pdf.js commit mentioned in github thread (4ce6cb8 - https://github.com/mozilla/pdf.js/commit/4ce6cb8b0fa9db948516b2b738fa1503cf0ef90e) - still crashes. Also tried latest Chrome Canary available on 19/03/2014 - crash is there.

We can provide the WinDbg memory dump if it's of any help.
