Could you please tell us the URL in which you are seeing this bug?

I made some additional testing and found that Mozilla (e.g. browser and mail)
crash each time it tries to redisplay cached page: e.g. change font size, change
coding, change CSS scheme, etc...

It does not matter what page or letter it is

I'm using Debian Linux 2.3... all new libs.

We need a stacktrace from the crash or a talkback id

I can't reproduce this on Linux 2001070906 after playing around with character
coding, language pref, and text size for a bit, on sites in both english and
russian.

[e-mail], the best thing to do is probably to download a nightly
talkback build and try to reproduce the crash, then post the Talkback ID here.

Thanks

I installed the nightly build of Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US;
rv:0.9.2+) Gecko/20010719 and tried to reproduce the bug there to get the
TalkbackID mentioned. I successfully failed to reproduce it %-)

I use this nightly build instead of 0.9.1 now.
