The root cause appears to be whatever is causing JBIDE-17442 to manifest. Raising this to track CordovaSim behavior, since it relies on the BrowserSim component.

CordovaSim crashes when launching the TicketMonster app (from WFK 2.6). The offending line of code seems to be :

$("#container").enhanceWithin();

in the mobile router.js. The enhanceWithin API is new in jQueryMobile 1.4.x. The same line works without any flaw in CordovaSim on Windows and Mac OS X.

Additional notes - strace output reveals that BrowserSim is terminated due to a SIGTRAP event, which is a bit weird.
