Worksforme on linux, winNT.
If this is happening on FreeBSD, reopen and
put FreeBSD in the title.

Comment 2

[Chris McAfee]

looks like this is FreeBSD-only and still happening,
reopening and marking so.

Comment 3

[leger]

Clearing WORKSFORME resolution due to reopen.

Can you help Matt with this?  And should we worry about this for beta?

Comment 5

[Chris McAfee]

This is FreeBSD-only, marking m16 and help wanted.

Comment 6

[ben]

bug still present with M13

Comment 7

[Chris McAfee]

ben, do you have a stack trace?  I don't have
a FreeBSD build to look at this right now.

Comment 8

[Chris McAfee]

There has been a history of SIGFPE problems on FreeBSD.

ben says:
I tried running mozilla, and then attaching gdb to it.  When I went to
Edit-->Preferences, gdb intercepted a SIGFPE:

(gdb) cont
Continuing.
****** GENERAL DRAG ********
WEBSHELL+ = 4

Gdk-WARNING **: locale not supported by C library

Program received signal SIGFPE, Arithmetic exception.
0x280c5fea in js_NewNumberValue () from
/usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla/libmozjs.so

I tried continuing again, and had to do so several times; eventually the
preferences dialog came up, and I was able to select "Software
Installation".  This was followed by a bunch more SIGFPE's, and
eventually the program died, with the GDK-error as described in the
original bug report:

Gdk-ERROR **: BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
  serial 103817 error_code 8 request_code 59 minor_code 0

Program exited with code 01.
(gdb) [1]  + done       mozilla

Comment 10

[leger]

Bulk move of all Pref UI component bugs to new Preferences component.  Pref UI 
component will be deleted.

mcafee (or anyone else): Can you reproduce this problem with builds after Jan
11?

January 10th a fix for floating point exceptions on FreeBSD was checked in:

marking worksforme per markus's comment.
Ben, if this is still happening we can reopen this
and jumpstart this bug.  Sorry it's been sitting here
for a while.
