User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100819 Minefield/4.0b5pre
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0b5pre) Gecko/20100819 Minefield/4.0b5pre

Minefield first crashed when I tried to reply to an email, in gmail's webmail. I tried every option:
clicking on the reply button
using keyboard shortcuts
clicking in the reply zone
I also tried opening a new email, same result. Extremely quick crash. I submitted bug reports for each crash. Here's my list, sorry if it's too long:

bp-96550cdf-4c60-4447-bba4-d706a2100819
The crash reason seems to always be the same: "EXC_BAD_ACCESS / KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE"
Not all that surprising, really. All the crashes occurred for the same reason.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to gmail with Minefield 4.0b5pre
2. Try to write an email

Actual Results:  
Minefield crashed. On one occasion it took a little bit more time, but usually it crashed within three seconds.
Most of the time the restart was immediate, once Minefield asked whether I wanted to restore my session.

Expected Results:  
No crash.

General usage of gmail didn't seem awkward. Might have been a bit sluggish, but I hadn't really noticed.

Tested if it still crashed after latest security fix, problem still there.

One more thing. I tested with and without addons. I didn't try without the plugins, though. And the reason why I'm using the 32 bit version is because I wanted to be able to use the usual plugins. Hope this helps.
