Hi Bob,

A few moons later, we've got an updated lower bound (release that
works): 9.0.1. Built it with optimization, and it works fine -- no
lockups. The first release version that *doesn't* work is 10.0, so
we're closing in on the problem. All releases >= 10.0 are currently
broken on Alpha.
As far as optimization vs. no optimization, the only difference I
currently note is that the old "nsThreadUtils*" patches are required
to
get a non-optimized build to succeed. I have no explanation for this,
but without those patches, a non-optimized build will fail. To say
the
least, this is bothersome...
I am fairly certain that the crash is this:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=660960
The backtraces I got all ended in madvise() --- which is what the bug
report is about.
A number of a new iceweasel versions have been uploaded to unstable
but they all fail to build on the buildds because we are still waiting
for the fixes for:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650151
to be applied. Thus to get a new iceweasel version I have to manually
build it with the fixes and upload to the debian-ports unreleased
distribution. I might be able to do that again with the latest
iceweasel that is in unstable this weekend.
Cheers
Michael.
