Works for me with 2001021503 0.8 on Slackware 7.0 (glibc 2.1.2/XFree86 3.3.6, no
xfs).

Scratch my last comment - crashes after two or three repeated changes in font
size. Gives me a SIGSEV; the last part of an strace looks like:

gettimeofday({458814, 197135500}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({197132413, 197135504}, NULL) = 0
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll(0x41c32600, 0x3, 0x9, 0x4030b520, 0x41c32600) = 1
ioctl(8, FIONREAD, [40370569])          = 0
read(8, "\n\0\t\0<\1\2\0\220\f\300\v6\1\2"..., 32) = 32
mprotect(0x41e20000, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE) = 0
write(6, "}", 1)                        = 1
--- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) ---

Possible dup of bug 68208.

hrm, could you get a build with talkback in it [the non-sea tarball, for linux],
and when you reproduce this, let us know what the talkback incident number is?
we could check if the trace is the same as bug 68208... it really does sound
like the same thing, but it'd be good to confirm.

Comment 5

[Boris Zbarsky [:bzbarsky]]

The trace given so far in this bug is from an idle thread and is likely
irrelevant to the crash.

Comment 6

[Bruce Harada]

Talkback incident ID is TB26477281Q
