If you have enough memory I recommend building Chromium from source. There's probably some library somewhere which is behaving in a way which packaged Chrome isn't fond of (and it seems like maybe the maintainer of the chrome binary package you're using needs to update it in some way). (Aside: funny enough, Chrome OS is Gentoo-based IIRC.)
