232051 - Jprof does not work with Fedora Core1

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[jim_nance]

I found that the stack crawling function in jprof does not work with Fedora
Core1. Aparently this also broke code in other places in mozilla which crawl the
stack.  I coppied the changes made to fix those problems into jprof, and now it
works for me again.  Unfortunatly I do not have a pre-Fedora system to test on,
so I do not know if these changes would break older builds.  I dont really know
if anywould would even care.  I am going to attach the patch to fix Fedora to
this bug report.  I would like recomendations as to whether I should check it in
or not.
