172985 - Intermittent Segmentation fault while rendering pages

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 153815

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jeremy Rosenberger]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020827

While browsing certain Web sites, Mozilla intermittently crashes with a
segmentation fault. I say "intermittent" because there's not a single page in
particular that always causes Mozilla to fail; I can view a page just fine and
then come back to that page and Mozilla will crash. The site at which I observe
this behavior most often is http://www.ebay.com/ . After about a dozen page
views (doing a search, viewing an item, using the "back" button, doing another
search, viewing another couple of items using the "back" button in between,
etc.) Mozilla always crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run Mozilla
2. Go to http://www.ebay.com/
3. Search for a random item
4. Click on random in search results
5. Click "back" button
6. Click on another random item in search results
7. Click "back" button again
8. Repeat steps 3-7 until crash--which occurs after a dozen or so page views
Actual Results:  
Crash occurs after a dozen or so page views.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have rendered all apges without crashing.

This occurs on Red Hat Linux 7.3 with the latest glibc, etc. as supplied by Red
Hat. I will also attach the backtrace obtained by gdb.
