I have the same problem.  Trying to print in Minefield including today's nightly
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20060731 Minefield/3.0a1,
freezes the browser until I kill the child process (usually from "top" in a terminal). 
On several occasions the freeze extended to X11, so I could not even use top, and had to kill the process by logging in from another computer. 
I am running Fedora Core 5, 
Linux goylem 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 #1 Tue Jul 11 22:55:46 EDT 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I sent a taklback from the last crash, but have no Id for it (maybe yu can trace it by my e-mail address

Hardy, I looked at the stacktraces for your crashes and it looks like you're seeing bug 341595 (which is unrelated to this bug).

Reverted to Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1b1) Gecko/20060731 BonEcho/2.0b1 and printing works fine.  Beware of Minefields!

 I don't see any relation -- what is "seamonkey"? 
I am not building the system, just using it.

Judging on the appearance of a file named mozilla.ps, this looks like bug #335754.
