Description Roger 2015-11-13 22:34:20 UTC 
Seamonkey-2.38 has random segmentation faults.

See upstream Mozilla Bug 1216765, "Random Segmentation Fault with Seamonkey"

And, somebody removed the last stable version www-client/seamonkey-2.35 ebuild from the main tree.  (I'll attach the seamonkey-2.35.ebuild to this bug for other users who may have synced their tree, removing the 2.35 version.)

Reproducible: Always

seamonkey-2.35.ebuild

Last known stable version of Seamonkey, in reference to Mozilla Bug 1216765, "Random Segmentation Fault with Seamonkey"

Sorry but seamonkey-2.35 won't come back into portage. It has way too many security bugs which am unwilling to backport from later versions.
Users can still choose to use seamonkey-2.39 which will be stabilized soon.
Comment 3 Roger 2015-11-15 04:28:54 UTC 
Wonderful.  Now we're all screwed.

See Bug #562930, "www-client/seamonkey-2.38: random crashes with segmentation fault"

See my upstream Mozilla Bug 1216765, "Random Segmentation Fault with Seamonkey"

I'll revert to Dillo before I have to resorting to pulling my hair-out over trying to use Firefart!
Comment 4 Roger 2015-11-15 04:31:52 UTC 
Well that's weird, now I'm seeing the seamonkey-bin package available once again.  Maybe I can further narrow this issue to a local build problem, versus other problems.
