29878 - segmentation fault on load in linux-M14

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 27573

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect, P3)

Description

[Ubermonkey]

I just downloaded the glibc2.1-i686-talkback tarball from ftp.mozilla.org.
So I try to install it with ./mozilla &
It starts to work and I get to the Profile Manager.  I click "Next" then go
through the screens to choose a location for my home directory.  I choose one
and click "ok" - now the Mozilla windows disappear and my x-term has a
segmentation fault.  Below is a copy of what my x-term showed afterward.

hmm, are you sure you got the talk back build?  usually it says something like 
"qfa services being registered" at the beginning of the output.  could you try 
re-downloading and re-installing a talkback enabled m14 so that we can try to 
debug the output?

thanks.

Yes, I made sure to download the talk-back build.  But I've narrowed the
bug down further: it only crashes when I'm in Profile Manager, creating a
new profile, and changing the default folder.  The segmentation fault
occurs when I click OK on the "Choose Profile Directory" screen, whether I
have changed the directory or not.

I was eventually able to start mozilla correctly by not changing the
default folder.  In that case, I did see the "QFA services" message you
describe.

Sorry - I see this bug has already been reported.  I'm new to bugzilla so I
didn't know how to search...

This is the same as bug #27573.  However, it's marked as fixed and I'm still
having this problem.

thanks for doing all that legwork!!!

i just read the comments to bug #27573.  it looks like that fix didn't make it 
into the M14 builds, but is fixed on the tip.  if you would like to verify, 
please download a recent nightly build.  

anyway, great detective work, hope you'll keep contributing to Mozilla. :)

marking as a duplicate of 27573.  if you can reproduce it with a recent nightly 
build, please reopen that bug, not this one.
