I've tried the csv version of mozilla the last few weeks up to today july 22
1999 and all fail in the same way.

Mozilla compiled with './configure --disable-md && make depend && make' (the
compiler assisted depends segfault egcs)

$ g++ --version
egcs-2.91.66

$ gtk-config --version
1.2.3

What else can i tell, libc5 a backtrace...

What OS?  We had a font problem yesterday that got fixed.
Try again?
No change using today's version 2 aug 1999. The adresses differ obviously but bt
functions are the same, so is the error.

What development work is this blocking?  If it is a real blocker, it should be
p1 for M9.

general browser, m10.  fhc, is this still happening?
I don't have a libc5 machine to test this on, but I have
seen solaris crash like this.

Not a blocker, over to leger for QA contact reassignment.
Yes, got the csv version today (11/8/99) and this is still happening.

Solaris in m12 for me.

This isn't happening on systems here.
Can you try another account?  Eliminate any special fonts?
Is this a Dutch system by any chance?
Target Milestone: M12 → M13
Move to M13 until we can repro this.
giving me rest of phillips open qa contact bugs, sorry for spam
Severity: major → critical
Target Milestone: M13 → M15
Worry about this in M15.
can you run mozilla-bin with --sync to make sure it is actually crashing in
font loading code and not somewhere else?  if this is crashing then we probably
need some kind of resolution for beta and shouldn't push it to m15

Chris, is this still a big beta 2 issue?
Target Milestone: M15 → M16
I asked the reporter if this is still a problem. Quoted from the answer:

Still dumps core on start up no longer in the font code though, i'm
using a rather old install here, libc5 etc. dunno if this is relevant.
included is a bt.
