Confirmed from bug 1962513 that this is the gnome-shell crash seen in jammy live sessions.

I guess it will either change form in mozjs91 or not crash at all. Hopefully the latter.

If it's not fixed in mozjs91 *and* no other options can be found then we might consider commenting out the call to _shell_global_destroy_gjs_context() in gnome-shell main().

The latest jammy live images are still crashing even though they use libmozjs-91-0 so I'll need to debug that to see if it's the same stack trace.

The crash is indeed slightly different now that we've moved to mozjs91. It's being tracked in bug 1964458.

We don't need to keep this one open for mozjs78.
