User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8a5) Gecko/20041122

On some pages, browser throws this exception: "Vstupní bod procedury
?Alloc@nsMemory@@SAPAXI@Z se nepodařilo v dynamicky propojované knihovně
xpcom.dll nalézt."

which means it cannot find entry point of mentioned procedure in xpcom.dll
library. It's Win-exception and after clicking on OK button, mozilla works OK.

It was poping up whole day and now I cannot found any page with this error. But
for now I'm not working with mozilla normally, so I'll add some comment, when I
discover some more information.

this is trace log from depends.exe (with browsing https://ib24.csob.cz/ and 
throwing described exception):

strange, there's nothing interesting in the log :(.

perhaps we should try nspr logging?

When I open the about:plugins page it throws another exception - it complains
about not found ?InsertObjectAt@nsCOMArray_base@@IAEHPAVnsISupports@@H@Z
procedure. I think that my installation must be corrupted in some way.

Should I make clean install of this version? Maybe we can lose some bug, but it
would be better for me not to click OK to view every even page.

Reporter:
Do you have installed the ActiveX plugin ?

BTW: You can solve this problem with a clean install...

I'm sorry for seldom response from me. I've had no time till now. 

Yes I've had the ActiveX plugin installed. I don't remeber exactly , but I think
I did try clean install, but it didn't work too. I solved it by downgrade to 1.7
release.

[Matthias Versen [:Matti]]

this is caused by an old .dll in your Mozilla directory (either from an very old
installation or from a plugin).

I think that this is worksforme. I updated my 1.7.7 Release to 1.8B and got not
problems.

I've tried to upgrade from 1.7.8 to 1.8b1 and everything OK. Then I've added
ActiveX plugin for 1.7 and problem has appeared again. After manually
uninstalling ActiveX plugin is everything ok again.

So I agree, it was my mistake and it's resolved and worksforme. Thank you for help.
