User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040914 Firefox/ jpeg;q=0.15, gif; q=0.4

Recently I updates a lot of packages in my Linux (Conectiva 10), including
glibc. Now, when I run firefox directly, it works fine, but I want to run it
through artsdsp, because some pages I access have flash objects that play
sounds, and I want to play them through arts. When I open this kind of page, the
browser stops working. It happens just when I run using "artsdsp firefox". When
I run directly, it works fine, but without sound... Before updating these
packages, it was working fine.

When it crashes, the standard output gives the message:
*** glibc detected *** double free or corruption: 0x09443758 ***

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Just open the page.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It stops, and I only can close the window using Ctrl-C on the terminal.

Expected Results:  
It should open the page without crashing, and send the sounds of flash plugin to
arts.

A comment: this error occurs only on Firefox 1.0. I tried in Mozilla 1.7.3, and
there is no problem.
