201813 - [gtk2] X Window System error 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173204

(Core :: XUL, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4a) Gecko/20030407 Phoenix/0.5+

    All windows close, and output shows this:

The program 'phoenix-bin' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 66096 error_code 16 request_code 22 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

    Debug build only shows:

The application 'phoenix-bin' lost its connection to the display :0.0;
most likely the X server was shut down or you killed/destroyed
the application.

bug 78108 is for xlib, bug 78108 comment 2 mentions this happening at
http://jota.sm.luth.se/~anedah-9/misc/george.ogg too (does for me)

I don't see this in non-gtk2 builds. Happens with both mozilla and phoenix.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Expected Results:  
show content (binary crap)

dupe of "xft build gets X error loading url [hangs or crashes on some URLs]"
(same stack, loading text, X error)
