Yeah, the debian package's debugging symbols reference iceweasel source which
isn't in the package (and at any rate the reference is to /tmp).
In addition, the packaged lib is compiled with optimisations making debugging...
interesting... even when the debugging symbols actually work.
These difficulties were the main motivation behind using my own compiled 
mozjs24.

Should this be reported as a bug against the package,
or is this segfault an edbrowse problem do you think?

Cheers,
Adam.
PS: the mozjs26d package is still broken so no chance of building against that.
