I'll put eCare back and create the logs. It also does it on the Camino download
page.

Is this a dupe of bug 202619?

It might be related. I see the Adobe PDF viewer plugin in the loaded libs list.

It stops Camino from loading on Apples with the original installation of Adobe
on. I have played with the Apples at work and the only common factor is the plug in.

FWIW, apparently there's also a "NPCardPrintingCarbon" plugin that crashes us in this same function; a guy on the forum was having crashes reminiscent of this bug and we helped him track it down to that plugin.

His crashlog is at http://pastebin.mozilla.org/2842 for posterity, although someone should maybe upload that as an attachment here so it doesn't expire.

Does this crash still occur with up-to-date Firefox and eCare?
