Bug 100073 – mozilla and mozilla-firefox crash X (-bin don't)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Janis Blechert 2005-07-23 16:17:07 UTC]

I have had a hard time trying to load subpub.com and other sites, galeon would
crash on me everytime and kill the whole X server with it. However I found out
that it does not happen with the 'official' builds, so I guess it is related to
my cflags.
I will rebuild until I've found the one that needs to be filtered out, just
wanted to make a start.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. use bad-ass cflags (-march=athlon-xp -O2 -m3dnow -fomit-frame-pointer
-ffast-math -pipe -funroll-loops)
2. compile mozilla(-firefox)
3. go to subpub.com
Actual Results:  
mozilla crashed along with the X server

Expected Results:  
you don't expect me to answer that one, do you? ;)

well, I have compiled it with the old gcc (3.3.4) and without any cflags but it
still crashes, so it's either a library causing the problem or it's gentoo
specific patch. I'm going to analyse the website and try to figure out what's
triggering the crash...

[Comment 2 Janis Blechert 2005-08-04 05:47:06 UTC]

I found the reason, the crash only happens when I compile with +moznoxft.

Re-open if problem re-occurs for ya.
