Browser crashes with segmentation fault when in message entering box of PHPBB
site with Hebrew interface typing somthing and than down-arrow followed by
right-arrow.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter the attached URL
2.Choose "new message" (the icon on the uper right corner of the messages box)
3.Type some text in the message text box
4.Press down-arrow (curser jumps to the end of line)
5.Press right-arrow
Actual Results:  
Browser crashes

Expected Results:  
Move the curser to the right.

Tested also on firefox 0.9.3 which crashed
Tested on firefox 1.0PR which didn't crash but the left/right arrows didn't
function after the down-arrow (the same was reported on the latest Mozilla
nightly build)
Adding the Israeli team to the CC
what i get with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040910

and with
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041001 Firefox/0.10.1

is that after following the reproduction steps, the corsor is stuck at the end
of the line, and doesn't move right again. but taking it out with the Home
button or the mouse releases it. in any case, no crash.

This bug occurs to me as well. Will an strace of the problem help solving it?
Well, it seems like I've just found another way to reproduce this bug:
1. Follow the original steps 1-3
2. Press Ctrl-End
3. Press the right arrow key
Et voila, you got a segfault

This is very likely a duplicate of one of the other crash-with-RTL-textarea bugs, which were fixed some time ago.
The site in the URL field now requires registration to post to, plus this bug was reported for Linux, which I don't have access to. Can someone with Linux and access to the site please test this (with latest trunk or even Firefox 1.5/SeaMonkey 1.0) and close as FIXED/WFM if the problem no longer exists?
tested on seamonkey 1.0.2 WFM
