Status: VERIFIED FIXED

I got this crash with source pulled on 7 July 1999 at 5:00 AM EDT, but I have
gotten it ever since I started building mozilla under HP-UX (about 2 weeks ago).
When I start apprunner I get a crash at:

XPInstall Component created
Initialized app shell component {18c2f989-b09f-11d2-bcde-00805f0e1353},
rv=0x00000000

    aAllowPlugins=1, aIsSunkenBorder=1)

985       WEB_TRACE(WEB_TRACE_CALLS,
(gdb) p gLogModule
Cannot access memory at address 0xba6b71e4.

which I believe is related to the static initialization of the gLogModule
variable:

#ifdef NS_DEBUG
/**
 * Note: the log module is created during initialization which
 * means that you cannot perform logging before then.
 */
static PRLogModuleInfo* gLogModule = PR_NewLogModule("webshell");
#endif

If I #undef NS_DEBUG in this file then I make it through this part of the
code w/o any problems.

The problem is still there with a July 15 pull and HP-UX build.
