Update -- I've found that when it hangs, it will eventually come back with the "save as" dialog or whatever, but it takes something like 10 minutes. I've found this same behavior with evince and kpdf (but xpdf is fine), so perhaps it's some common underlying library.... This is running under fluxbox-0.9.13-r1, btw. Mine locks up too. I am running 1.06-r2. For me, it is not only download links, but some regular sites also cause the behavior. It seems to be mostly sites that have ads or flash. The only plugins that I have are java and adobe. I think this should be severe priority because it locks on about half of the sites that I go to. It is terribly unstable and very annoying. I have tried uninstalling and recompiling and the problem still persists. I believe I've found what was causing this. strace-ing gedit showed that it was hanging on trying to connect to the portmapper service on the localhost, and my firewall was dropping those packets, resulting in a timeout condition. From the strace, it tries to bind to a priveleged port around the range 1013--1021, and tries to connect to 127.0.0.1:111. Why it needs a priveleged port I don't know, but the fam source code looks like it does something like this, so perhaps that's where it's coming from? (fam is one of 129 common requirements between mozilla-firefox, evince, kpdf, and gedit on my system) I added a rule to accept packets from interface 'lo', which is hopefully harmless enough, and now these programs start without problems. |
