The first time after building RC1 from CVS the startup suceeds. The following
startups crash...

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. build RC1
2. start ok, exit
3. start again, crash

my .mozconfig:

# sh

# See http://www.mozilla.org/build/unix.html for build instructions.
#

# Options for client.mk.
#mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j4

# Options for 'configure' (same as command-line options).
ac_add_options --enable-crypto
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --enable-xpcom-lea

1) My setup:
o gcc --version:2.95.3
o uname -a: Linux java 2.4.4-4GB #1 Wed May 16 00:37:55 GMT 2001 i686 unknown
o Suse 7.2

2) I first tried to build with "-O3 -fomit-frame...", "-reordering-linker" and
the whole thing crashed even earlier. So I decided to be more conservative and
used the settings in .mozconfig.

3) By the way: If one chooses --enable-boehm, RTTI has to be selected as well,
otherwise the build will not suceed. ./configure doesn't complain, if one
doesn't select rtti but boehm. In my opinion this should be checked!

I know nothing about the boehm builds. Over to beard.

[Frank Wein [:mcsmurf]]

Rene: Have you tried to build with gc ever since then? Does it still crash?

Comment 6

[timeless]

reporter: how about a stack trace in the future? straces are almost always useless

./mozilla -g -d gdb
run
where

[OstGote!]

Old version, no further responses from reporter, no stack trace. Resolving as WFM.

Feel free to reopen the bug if you can reproduce the problem with current builds.
