294090 - Mozilla frequently crashes on destinations accessed from the yahoo home page

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[dks]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050427 Red Hat/1.7.7-1.1.3.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050427 Red Hat/1.7.7-1.1.3.4

I am observing frequent crashes when following links from the yahoo home page.
I am not identifying particular links, because these are so dynamic and change
from day to day. In trying to track down the bug I have tried launching Mozilla
with the -debug option. Each time one of these crashes occurs in the debug mode,
I receive the same error message.
/usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.7/mozilla-bin: relocation error:
/usr/lib/netscape/plugins/libflashplayer.so: undefined symbol: __builtin_vec_new
This system has recently undergone kernel and other security upgrades.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to same Yahoo link as caused the previous crash.
   Today it was the Movies link. Other days it has been the markets link.
2. Note: just because a particular link crashed Mozilla today does not mean it
   will do it tomorrow. This is presumably because the Yahoo links change
   frequently in a matter of days or sometimes hours.
3. Links within moviefone.com are sometimes culprits, but less frequently.

Actual Results:  
Mozilla crashed.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have displayed the web page associated with the link I clicked on.

that would be a problem with the flash plugin.  Probably compiled with an older
version of gcc or something.  Make sure you have the most recent version.
