Might be caused by Flash. Could be a dup of bug 122090.

WFM.  Flash movie works ok.

Reporter: do you have Flash installed?  If so try removing the plugin and see if
it still crashes.

also, please post talkback ID if you crash.

You are right, it's the Flash plugin. The page loads correctly if I remove it.
I used the most recent Flash plugin from Macromedia. This seems to be the first
page where it crashes.

Anyway, thanks for your support.

Addition:

Netscape 4.79 correctly displays the page using the same Flash-binary. So maybe
it's not the Flash-Plugin itself but something different. Maybe the JVM (it
ShockwaveFlash.class loooks like the Flash-plugin is using Java) or the
Browser-Plugin interaction.

please post talkback ID for the crash.  this helps a lot in determining where it
crashes.

Comment 8

[Jens Leuschner]

Hmmm. It works perfectly when using your talkback enabled binary.
Seems to be a compiler problem *sigh* (I used gcc 2.95.3 with -O6)

Comment 9

[Andrew Schultz]

see bug 53486.  standard builds use -O1.  Anything beyond -O2 is risky.

Comment 10

[Jens Leuschner]

I now tried it with -O2 and it works. Thank you.
