This crashes SeaMonkey Trunk (Gecko 1.9.1 Branch) too, almost on Windows.

That also affects 1.8branch (TB2)

Comment 5

[Tobias Fischer]

This seemd to be fixed by the Checkin for Bug 400822. I can't reproduce this crash with SeaMonkey 2009020800 Nightly and later Builds. 

So I think this should be closed as Duplicate of Bug 400822, but I will wait for some other who can take a closer look on this.

[Wolfgang Rosenauer [:wolfiR]]

Yes, it's actually the same. I even added the very same patch independently to FF3 (and FF2) to fix that. We should get that for 1.8.1 and 1.9 as well but I'll comment on the other bug.
