OK, I think I found the culprit: went back to
ICU-57.1, compiled FF
against it, and no segfaults for about one hour...
I'll try to find where the ICU API changed.

All over the place, 58 has not been pretty for many
packages.
This might be a good start:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1299615
For the overall changes,
http://source.icu-project.org/repos/icu/icu/tags/release-58-
1/APIChangeReport.html
But like DJ says, it ain't pretty. The page linking to that,
http://site.icu-project.org/download/58#TOC-Common-Changes
summariese these as
API Changes since ICU4C 57
· The API change report looks large and noisy this time.
Most of
the changes are from the following:
· The layout engine code was removed, resulting in a long
list
of Removed API.
· C++ APIs that used const StringPiece& now pass/return
StringPiece by value. All affected functions show as
being
Removed with their old signature and as Added with
their new
signature. (#12140)
· Most COUNT and LIMIT enum constants have been
deprecated. (#12420)
I'm rebuilding Firefox, Seamonkey, and Thunderbird with ICU-57.1
as we
speak. Probably about 6 hours until I have any news.
If this fixes it, do we need to revert to 57.1?
I would say yes, the revert is needed. We need to keep an eye on it
though. If it bothers enough upstream upstream developers, then thy
will probably create some compatibility functions.
Usually in this situation though. old APIs are marked deprecated for a
while (years) before they are removed.
The API whose change prevents libreoffice to build was announced. There is a
fix in the book.
The segfaults with the mozilla apps is due to a regression. This kind of
things happen... There is a patch which allows firefox and thunderbird to run.
I have to build seamonkey (never done that before), to check it works.
For chromium, internal ICU is used in the book. For sgdisk, ICU should not be
needed as of version 1.0.1 (see ticket #8527).
So, I propose to revert back to 58.1 (with the patch of course). Would it be
OK? Note that apps compiled with 57.1 seem to work with the 58.1 library, at
least FF and TB. No need to recompile AFAICT.
Redoing version 58 is fine. The purpose of -dev is to get things in and
working and occasional breakage is expected.
