Hrm. I think this is something in BSD specific code. It reminds me of bug 59219,
where the culprit was js not correctly dealing with floating point code on irix
(bug 10061). But it could just as well be something in BSD gfx code.

[e-mail], could you change |set textZoom(aZoom)| in
chrome/comm/content/communicator/viewZoomOverlay.js to something like this:

  set textZoom(aZoom) {
    if (aZoom < this.MIN || aZoom > this.MAX)
      throw Components.results.NS_ERROR_INVALID_ARG;

    dump("--- aZoom = "+aZoom+"...\n");
    var zoom = aZoom / 100;
    dump("--- zoom = "+zoom+"...\n");
    getMarkupDocumentViewer().textZoom = zoom;
    dump("--- zoom set...\n");
  },

Then run, and see how far you come.

If you're building with JAR files (or are using a nightly), you'll need to edit
chrome/installed-chrome.txt and remove all "jar:" and ".jar!", to make the
change to the above file work, or use zip to zip the edited file into comm.jar.

If you need any help with this, e-mail me directly or (preferably) find me on
IRC in channel #mozilla at irc.mozilla.org.

This works for me on FreeBSD-current cvs build from 20010121
