I hope that gdb backtraces will be a sufficient bug report:

I hope that this helps.  I figure that gdb is more descriptive than I can be.

Comment 1

[Steve Lamm]

Not sure who is working on Linux/Alpha. Assigning to chofmann for now.

Comment 2

[Chris McAfee]

I'll take this.  Have we implemented xptcall for alpha?
That's the thing to work on first.

Comment 3

[Chris McAfee]

QA: This is a fringe platform and should not
be labelled "blocker".

Comment 4

[Chris McAfee]

brian, can you take a look at this?

Comment 5

[Brian Ostrom]

I'll take a look when I have time.  Every now and then lately, I've been
able to build and at least bring up the browser window, so it can't be
too far from "working".

Comment 6

[Chris Yeh]

setting severity to normal to get it off of "blocker" radar.
setting target milestone to M14

Comment 7

[Jon Granrose]

mass reassigning briano's open bugs to me while he's on sabbatical.

Comment 8

[Jon Granrose]

accept bug.

Comment 9

[msw]

This does not happen in my Linux/Alpha test builds.  Please re-verify?

Comment 10

[Jon Granrose]

Looking at the seamonkey-ports tinderbox page, vorlon has been green for a while
now and it's linux/alpha.  with that and msw's comments below that he isn't
seeing this problem, I'm resolving it worksforme.

Comment 11

[leger]

Adding crash keyword

Comment 12

[Doron Rosenberg (IBM)]

**Mass Spam**
Adding verifyme keyword to all non-verified bugs on browser general.
