can you provide a talkback ID?
also, try out a 1.4 build
http://download.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.4/
Keywords: crash
How would I provide a talkback ID?  I am using the latest RPM packaged version
(at the time I downloaded it) of mozilla:

mozilla-1.3-0_rh8_xft
RPMs don't do talkback, but you should be able to get a valid stacktrace via gdb

> mozilla --sync &
> ps u -C mozilla-bin
> gdb /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3/mozilla-bin _pid_of_mozilla-bin_
(gdb) b exit
(gdb) cont
[make Mozilla crash]
(gdb) bt

Attached file Backtrace (deleted) β€”
A backtrace produced using the process described by Andrew.  Of course, when I
had GDB attached, the bug did not occur nearly as often.  I'm not currently
confident that this backtrace corresponds to the same bug as reported, but I
figured I'd attach it in case it did.
Attached file Backtrace (deleted) β€”
I am much more confident that this backtrace corresponds to this bug.  Although
it looks similar to the last backtrace, I will leave the old backtrace in case
it is useful.
my XIM is chinput from the miniChinput-0.0.3-37 redhat package.
thanks.
