Description Kent Pirkle 2002-02-10 11:02:51 UTC

On some sites using flash, Mozilla and Galeon will crash. Without the plugin it
doesn't crash. www.linuxtoday.com is one of the sites that will crash on occasion.

that's a galeon/mozilla bug, and it's reported to their bugzilla...

My quick hack

Extract this into /usr/lib/mozilla it will create libc++mem.so and
run-mozilla.sh (overwriting your old one) this should make Mozilla work. As far
as Galeon.. just do "env LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/mozilla/libc++mem.so galeon" and
that should make it work. I don't have galeon but if there's some kind of start
script for it then you could modify it
