OK, it looks like a font problem.

If I set the pref to prevent the browser from using document-specified fonts, it
loads and scrolls just fine.

I saved a copy of the html here: http://pcsb620.jmc.tju.edu/~jes/lpi_crash.html

This seems to be a common thread for me, as I've experienced a LOT of these kind
of crashes with 1.3 and 1.4a.  I don't know what to do to try and track down the
problem: fonts on Linux give me a colossal headache.

Joe, does TalkBack run after these crashes? If so, please provide a
representative incident ID.

it looks like you have an xft-enabled build so talkback isn't there.  If you
start Mozilla from a terminal, does it print any messages before it dies?
can you grab a stacktrace?

% mozilla --sync &
% ps u -C mozilla-bin
% gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-1.4a/mozilla-bin _pid_of_mozilla_
(gdb) b abort
(gdb) b exit
(gdb) cont
[make mozilla crash]
(gdb) bt
[and attach the stack in this bug]

hmm.  That makes me think this is a dup of bug 180309.

Yep.  Just to confirm: if I remove all '.fon' files from my font path, Mozilla
is completely happy with the URL I provided.  Sorry for the misdirection - I did
try to find prior reports.

Please close this report as appropriate.

Thanks for the timely diagnosis, this has been a big problem for me using recent
Mozilla builds.
