Again, true. The good thing here is that, thanks a lot to your help, it was 
traced down and fixed. With V8 we don't have that chance (as far as I 
understand).

The real answer is simple: all of them. We do our best to avoid embedded 
libraries (and yes, we sometimes fail to do it, and that's a bug for us).

If I where to start at some place I would choose V8 and ffmpeg, but the real 
thing is simply all of them.
