WORKSFORME using Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; fr-FR; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040527
with Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25. The URL given by the reporter renders correctly;
no crash.

can you post Talkback ID for this crash "mozilla/components/talkback/talkback" ?
Make sure to use latest Flash 7 release.

Comment 3

[Michael Echter]

Sorry, Talkback produces no Bug ID. I try it several times again. 

Comment 4

[Michael Echter]

It's not possible to create a Talkback ID. I tried the -g-fatal-warnings option and 
started Talkback manually. Nothing. 
And I use the latest Flash 7 version. 
So how can I get a stack?

you may not get many information from the following procedure unless it's a
Flash crash:

Can you start Mozilla with "mozilla -g", which will start Mozilla in the GDB
debugger
GDB> run
When you crash, go back to the terminal and type
GDB> bt

Attach the output of bt (backtrace) here via "create a new attachment".

btw, make sure to remove all Flash occurence, and keep only one (typically in
~/.mozilla/plugins)
Last info, what depth are you running X with: 15-bit, 16, 32 ? You can find out
using "xdpyinfo"

Attachment: gdb output of Mozilla

My X-Server runs on 1280x1024 with depth 16.
The only Flash-Plugin is in /usr/local/mozilla-1.7/plugins.
Maybe it's a Problem of the Java-Plugin? But I have Java an Java-Script
deactivated.

[Olivier Cahagne]

Thanks for this debug output, can you fix your Java setup and report if it works
any better ? You shouldn't have a hard copy of libjavaplugin_oji.so in the
plugins/ directory, it should just be a softlink, create it with:
ln -s /path/to/sunjre/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so

See:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html

Attachment: Backtrace -new-

Now I made a clear new Java-Installation and created a link like described on
the Mozilla-Homepage. No other Java-Installation disturbes.
Mozilla crashes anyway.
I have attached a further backtrace. After killing Mozilla, when it hangs, gdb
shows a problem with libpthread.so.0  
Could that be a matter?

Comment 9

[Michael Echter]

Now I found the matter. It must be Arts !! 
I deactivated the arts-soundserver and now it runs! 
 
But what on hell is the relation between arts and a Mozilla-Plugin? 
 
And how could it be solved?

What Flash version is reported on http://gemal.dk/browserspy/flash.html ?

Your issue seems to be bug 58339, which was about Flash 5.0r47.

copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
