worksforme with linux trunk/CVS/gtk2/xft if you start Mozilla from a terminal, does it print a message when it crashes?

Looking at the css on that page I'm going to make a wild guess that you have some .fon files in your font path. Can you move them out of your font path temporarily to test if they are the problem? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 180309 ***

So. Does anything print to the console when Mozilla crashes?

> So. Does anything print to the console when Mozilla crashes? Not a thing! Is there any way to get verbose debugging information? This install is from the RH 8.0 RPMs which don't have any sort of talkback.
% mozilla --sync & % gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/mozilla-bin _pid_of_mozilla (gdb) b abort (gdb) b exit (gdb) cont [make Mozilla crash] (gdb) bt [create an attachment for output of bt]
Mozilla hung as soon as I attempted to attach gdb session & set breakpoints. I don't know why the gdb session was suspended halfway through reading symbols, I didn't do that explicitly. I also don't know what caused the SIG32, as I never had a chance to enter the offending url from the original bug report.
Did you install the RH8.0 glibc update before you made this backtrace?
If that glibc update was a security issue, then I believe so -- the machine is kept current with up2date. RH has so many updates it's hard to keep track. $ rpm --query glibc glibc-2.3.2-4.80
Strange observation: I had two different instances of mozilla 1.3 running, one local and one tunneled over ssh from another RH 8.0 machine. I hit the url that causes the crash, on the network instance of mozilla, and immediately BOTH instances of mozilla crashed.
slaton: can you try gdb again? the SIG32 weirdness is because of the glibc update. when it does SIG32, just do "cont" again. you might have to do it a few times. Once it stops giving you SIG32s, make Mozilla crash for real, and then do "bt". unless you're careful, the RPM build will not bring up a second instance of Mozilla (it opens a new window instead), even when starting Mozilla from different machines.

I'll bet that due to -remote magic that they are actually the same instance. :)
