User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030701

I have installed RedHat 9.0 on my Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop.  I have added one
update in rpm format from the redhat network.  I have upgraded mozilla from the
one distributed with RH Linux 9.

http://www.sfgate.com brings up the home page of this newspaper.  When I enter a
search term in the CGI box on the home page, Mozilla crashes.  When I click a
link from an article of news, Mozilla also crashes.  I do not see a dialog box
or any register contents memory locations or other information.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install redhat 9 in a dell laptop
2.upgrade mozilla to 1.4 using rpm updates
3.enter newspaper web page and click on a link (http://www.sfgate.com

Actual Results:  
same thing.

Expected Results:  
It should have gone from the main page to the story on the link and allowed me
to read the story

Mozilla in all forms has**always** worked on any pc I have used under linux.  It
also works under Macintosh 9.2 on a nearby iMac.

This is my first failure.  I wish I knew how to take a dump of memory for the
failure

works for me with a mozilla 1.6 rpm (on fedora linux 2b).

reporter: can you please try it out again with a current version of mozilla and
mark this bug as fixed if the bug doesn't occur anymore?

John:
Please try to reproduce this bug with Mozilla 1.7rc1 (or later) and comment in
the bug report mentioning the talkback crash report ID if you can still
reproduce it.
Thanks!
