OnProtocolExecution: crash when using CefBrowser->StopLoad() with allow_os_execution = true

[HashidaTKS]

Describe the bug

This is similar to #3821.

My application implements the OnProtocolExecution handler like below.

void ClientHandler::OnProtocolExecution(CefRefPtr<CefBrowser> browser, CefRefPtr<CefFrame> frame, CefRefPtr<CefRequest> request, bool& allow_os_execution)
{
	allow_os_execution = true;
	browser->StopLoad();
}

This implementation crashes when opening zoom addresses.
This implementation works fine on CEF 127, but crashes on CEF128+.

This implementation crashes even on 131.2.7+g9a14dc9+chromium-131.0.6778.86, while it seems that the fix for #3821, I mean 0860ec2, is already applied to that version.

To Reproduce

• Implement OnProtocolExecution like Describe the bug.
• Open a zoom address.

Expected behavior

A pop-up asking if we want to open the installed zoom appears.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Versions (please complete the following information):

• OS: Windows11 24H2
• CEF Version: 131.2.7+g9a14dc9+chromium-131.0.6778.86

Additional context

• Does the problem reproduce with the cefclient or cefsimple sample application at the same version?

  • No, I guess they don't use browser->StopLoad(); and allow_os_execution = true; in OnProtocolExecution.

• Does the problem reproduce with Google Chrome at the same version?

  • No

• Add any other context about the problem here.

Here is a stack trace when crashing.

I also confront the same issue , even I apply the patch :#3821

[mbragg12]

Similar. The verbose logging seems a little more useful
