Description

[Alexander Gavtadze]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.1; Linux)
Build Identifier: [root@ilia mozilla]# /usr/local/bin/mozilla -v Mozilla 1.4b, Copyright (c) 2003 mozilla.org <developer build>

Since upgrading to rh 9. I installed new rpms 1.3 and galeon. But it would work and then 
it would freeze/crash when I try to type anything in any form or login. At this point I have 
de/installed all version rpms tar build it from scratch but same luck. I have p4 1.8 system 
with 256 ram. When I ran 'top' while mozilla is frozen its not taking any cpu or anything 
that I can notice. Here is top while mozilla is running and is frozen. it is manual build of 
1.4b from cvs.

It looks like gdb lost track of Mozilla and/or Mozilla bailed in a way that gdb
doesn't know how to catch.  If you haven't already done so, you might grab the
glibc errata from Red Hat, I think it might help with gdb.

Do you have find-as-you-type enabled?  see bug 198345
