Description Markus Doits 2008-12-30 16:52:40 UTC
i'm getting the following crash after the recent updates of glibc when using mozilla-firefox-bin-3.0_beta2:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
[Switching to Thread 0xeefffb90 (LWP 30931)]

Backtrace stopped: frame did not save the PC

i hope having glibc with debug-flag is enough for this trace.

it doesn't matter what i do, even when i do not touch the browser at all this happens. those crashes started after my recent update, so the latest glibc-version seems to be the problem - i used the browser for days now (since it hit portage) without a problem.

i also have this type of crashes on a x86-machine (but did not trace them, though) - when i get to the machine i'll backtrace it, i think it's the same. so seems no amd64-specific problem.

if you need more debug-output, tell me what to do and i'll post it.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update to latest versions
2. open browser and wait
3.

Actual Results:  
segfault

i forgot some things (since i had to write this bug fast before the next crash ;) ):

the trace is from an amd64-system and crashes happen randomly about 5-20mins after starting the browser.
