65163 - Mozilla segfaults frequently, sometimes on startup

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Gordon Schumacher]

Mozilla seems to segfault fairly often; it does it more frequently on some URLs than on others but it sometimes does so during startup.

The startup version that I have on my screen currently is as follows:

Document about:blank loaded successfully
moo!moo!/home/gordons/mozilla/package/run-mozilla.sh: line 72:  9201 Segmentation fault      $prog ${1+"$@"}

I can try and capture one from a non-startup segfault if it might be helpful.  I'm not quite sure what information to send along but I'd be happy to do it if someone can point me in the right direction.
The system is a K6/2 457 (don't ask, it's underclocked!) with 64MB RAM running SuSE 7.0, kernel 2.2.18+reiserfs.

You could try running it in gdb and check the backtrace - might provide a clue.
From an xterm:

mozilla -g -d gdb
run

after crash:

bt

Please also remember to always include build-ID in bug-reports; seems to be
missing here.

I can't verify this as a duplicate. Reopening for further information.

Reporter: can you look at the other bug mentioned by Hakan and see if it is
actually the bug you're seeing, and comment here ASAP.
