can you provide a talkback ID?
also, try out a 1.4 build
http://download.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4/

Comment 2

[Wesley Tanaka]

How would I provide a talkback ID?  I am using the latest RPM packaged version
(at the time I downloaded it) of mozilla:

mozilla-1.3-0_rh8_xft

Comment 3

[Andrew Schultz]

RPMs don't do talkback, but you should be able to get a valid stacktrace via gdb

> mozilla --sync &
> ps u -C mozilla-bin
> gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/mozilla-bin _pid_of_mozilla-bin_
(gdb) b exit
(gdb) cont
[make Mozilla crash]
(gdb) bt
[attach output from bt to this bug (Create a New Attachment)]

Attachment: Backtrace

A backtrace produced using the process described by Andrew.  Of course, when I
had GDB attached, the bug did not occur nearly as often.  I'm not currently
confident that this backtrace corresponds to the same bug as reported, but I
figured I'd attach it in case it did.

Attachment: Backtrace

I am much more confident that this backtrace corresponds to this bug.  Although
it looks similar to the last backtrace, I will leave the old backtrace in case
it is useful.

Comment 8

[Wesley Tanaka]

This stack trace looks similar to the one in bug 202013

Comment 9

[Jungshik Shin]

some other sites with similar crash problems : http://www.ohmynews.com,
http://www.hani.co.kr   Both sites make heavy use of flash animations.
I'm running RH 8.0, KDE and Korean XIM server (Ami) under ko_KR.UTF-8 locale.
I'll upload the stack trace later.

Unable to reproduce this bug on RedHat Linux 9 and the latest player.

See bug 211213 and refer to the plugin section of the international known
issues. Perhaps, we have to close this bug.
