Patched libmozjs185 [1] didn't solve the issue, though GNOME Shell crashes in a slightly different way. ... In this case, perhaps the second part of the fix is also missing. Indeed, looking at the original bug report again [4], it appears that JS engine breakage on ia64 was solved thanks to jemalloc patch [3], but also by allowing to turn off static JS strings allocation on ia64 [5]. Do these changes also need to be ported/refactored to the (supposed) new JS code?
Yes, you are right. The static-js-string-patch is needed. I missed this. Here is a new attempt, a set of two patches for libmozjs185 in wheezy. The built package can be downloaded here: http://www.fs-driver.org/debian-ia64/libmozjs185-1.0_1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-3.1_ia64-patchv2.deb Unfortunately I can't test whether it works or not. Stephan
