70138 - After glibc-2.2.2 upgrade, Mozilla segfaults

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[John Hayward-Warburton]

Immediately on startup, before any windows are opened, Mozilla segfaults. This
occurred immediately I upgraded to glibc-2.2.2. Might be related to libpthreads
- using the glibc-2.2.1 pthreads gets at least as far as a window appearing
before the segfault.

The segfault occurs immediately after getpid()

I can't get any other programs (including those that use C++) to imitate this.

Nightlies from the last few nights also do this.

Reverting to glibc-2.2.1 makes 2001022509 mozilla-gcc295 work (thank goodness!
I'd hate to be without Mozilla now), but the non-gcc295 version (approx
2001022610) still segfaults -- but only after the initial window has just opened.

reporter, this bug is not useful :(
please try crashing mozilla -g, attach a backtrace (bt). also, please try the 
mozilla test binaries, one of them should crash similarly.

Delighted to say that build 2001022521-gcc now works for me with glibc-2.2.2.
Odd problem, gone away.
