This looks like a benign crash to me. On my system IE is tanking in MSHTML.dll at 0x6360CD44 while dereferencing a null pointer (or a 0x22 pointer, to be precise).

6360CD38  mov         dword ptr [esi+9Ch],eax 
6360CD3E  mov         dword ptr [esi+90h],eax 
>6360CD44  cmp         byte ptr [edi+22h],0     ; edi = 0
6360CD48  jne         6360CDDE 
6360CD4E  cmp         byte ptr [edi+23h],0 

Stack:

Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems pretty run-of-the-mill.
