I have tried to build mozilla seamonkey on my new ubuntu setup, but after
compilling the program secfaults everytime

my latest mozconfig:
mk_add_options MOZ_OBJDIR=@TOPSRCDIR@/suite-debug
mk_add_options MOZ_CO_PROJECT=suite
mk_add_options MOZ_MAKE_FLAGS=-j2
ac_add_options --enable-application=suite

ac_add_options --enable-xft
ac_add_options --disable-tests
ac_add_options --disable-optimize
ac_add_options --enable-debug
ac_add_options --enable-default-toolkit=gtk2
ac_add_options --enable-xterm-updates
ac_add_options --disable-strip

Gcc version:gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-8ubuntu2)
System is Amd64:

people on #developer suggested it might be similar to
http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/06/msg00410.html
but I'm using a mozilla.org source pulled from CVS same day as this bug report
is created.

I have also tried non debug builds, and without the --disable-strip
