Description

[Isam Bayazidi]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)
Build Identifier: CVS fresh checkout Saterday 30 Nov, 2002

I compiled a  daily snapshot version of Mozilla (1.3a) it with the following options: ./configure  --enable-crypto  --prefix=/opt/mozilla-xft  --enable-xft --enable-xinerama  --disable-tests make, and make install went perfect .. when I attempt to run mozilla I get a start up crash.  I hope that the included info is enough.. I am willing to give what ever debug info I can provide that is needed  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile mozilla daily snapshot with xft support 2. run mozilla 3. get a crash 
Actual Results:  
I got a crash 

Expected Results:  
startup 

gdb result ( last few lines before exiting with a crash) : ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ###!!!
