chromium-browser-bin woun't start

I've installed chromium-browser-bin from aur, and it woun't launch.
So, I deleted it and installed "chromium" package from extra. After using it for a while I wanted to try latest build again.
And so today, I tried for the third time installing chromium-browser-bin from aur.
And got the same error.

$ pacman -Q chromium-browser-bin
chromium-browser-bin 56505-1

$ chromium-browser 
Illegal instruction

What could be wrong with it?

Doesn't seem like there is a fix yet.

Thanks
I saw that thread... but haven't read it till the place I needed...
Because there's an older version of chromium issue posted there.
I had to be more attentive...

But why does chromium 5 work and 6 doesn't?

Chromium 6 is in its early stages if I'm not mistaken. You should probably wait a little while for them to get this whole thing straightened out.

EDIT: Actually, from reading that thread, I see that it is happening on x86 CPUs. I'll attempt it on my Arch64 machine and see what happens.

Nope, not a problem with x86_64.
