It happened to me to Mozilla crashed with the following message on the command
line when I tried to open a file without <head>:
--
steffen@steffen:~/mozilla/dist/bin > ./mozilla [did a ^z]
[1]+ Stopped ./mozilla
steffen@steffen:~/mozilla/dist/bin > bg
[1]+ ./mozilla &
steffen@steffen:~/mozilla/dist/bin > /home/steffen/mozilla/dist/bin/run-mozilla.sh:
Speicherzugriffsfehler $prog ${1+"$@"}
--
It were two files from the Mplayer package (www.mplayerhq.hu) in the DOCS
directory: documentation.html and codecs.html.
The crash was no reproduceable and happened only once with each file.
When I looked at them, I noticed only, that there was no "!DOCTYPE"... and the
document started with <html><body>, i.e. no <head> item.

which Build ID ?
Do you have a talkback ID for that crash ?

It is a build from CVS, pulled on 31/3/2002.
I have never seen talkback on Linux yet :-(

I just did a quick test with a very simple test file
(<html><body></body></html>) and I didn't see any problems with build 20020406
under Win98SE.

The <head> tag is optional. Things like <title> <meta> and <style> tags that
generally go in the <head> don't even have to. The !DOCTYPE is also optional.
Talkback is included with some of the precompiled binary builds.

This is one of the mentioned files.
As I stated already, Mozilla doesn't crash always, but it happened three times
altogether now.
What I did:
0. I was offline (no dial-up connection)
1. I started mozilla:
$ cd mozilla/dist/bin
$ ./mozilla
2. I opened the file via File-> Open File and picked
MPlayer-0.60/DOCS/codecs.html (the one I appended)
3. _Sometimes_ Mozilla crashed with a SEGFAULT (I posted the message already)

(how often is "sometimes"?)
worksforme with linux build 20020405. could you provide a stacktrace (via gdb)?
without that or talkback info, it's going to be hard to tell what's wrong.
what were your build options?

I (tried to) produce(d) a stack trace with gdb.
This is what happened.
My build options were
./configure --disable-mailnews --enable-java-supplement --with-ldap
--with-gnu-ld --enable-reorder --enable-strip --enable-mathml --disable-debug
--disable-tests --enable-crypto

I also made an "strace -fF -o strace-mozilla ./mozilla" to provide more
information.
BTW, the Bug Writing Guidelines say, I should call "gdb mozilla core". But how
do I create the "core" file. You see, I'm not very experienced with gdb & Co.
...
Ahh, and you asked for the "how often":
This crash is not really reproduceable. It occurs about every fourth or fifth
start. I cannot see any conditions, under which it occurs and under which not.
:-(
I have still a gdb session with a crashed mozilla open (./mozilla -g) (now
means 2002/04/07 18:25 MEST). If you would like to find out more, let me know.

Do you still have that gdb session? Could you see what the stacks are for the
various threads?
thread 1
bt
thread 2
bt
and so on till you run out of threads?
Also, on Linux the kernel does not create core files of multithreaded programs
(yay kernel bugs).

I didn't have that session any longer... Sorry, my computer stands next to
bed...
However, I did what you told me and now append a stack trace of all threads.
Do I understand right: (Under Linux,) there are no core files for mozilla?

Barring possible kernel changes in the 2.4/2.5 series, yes.

I made some experiments with RC1 (#2002041711 Linux).
After maybe 20 tries, Mozilla hasn't crashed once, so seems to be worksforme as
well.
A few minutes ago, I pulled the most recent source and will check out how my own
build behaves.
