Somehow I suspect this is another case of M10 or later after a previous earlier install. If so, you need to delete you Mozilla registry, see http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/release-notes/m10.html. Please mark this invalid if that fixes the problem.

Deletion of the registry did not resolve the error.

Can you try deleting the component registry : package/component.reg and try this again.

I think I've narrowed this one down. The account that I'm using to run mozilla does not have write permission in the source tree. If that user attempts to load mozilla when component.reg does not exist, mozilla segfaults. If a user with write permission runs mozilla and thereby creates component.reg, the original user is then able to run mozilla. If component.reg is then deleted, behavior reverts to the original. Since mozilla will often be used by accounts which do have write permission, this is still a serious bug. It worst, it should display an error and abort.
