Do what you will but this seems a very radical step to take at this
point. It seems to me you are assuming there are bugs in gcc and glibc
that are both effecting you now and will be fixed in the new versions.
I'm not sure that logic really holds water.
Wouldn't you be possibly better off to learn to run gdb on Firefox and
look for problems in a more conventional way?
Did you manage to remove all plugins from Firefox and prove it's not a
Flash or Java issue?

I don't think Konsole uses Flash or java. I'm not sure how one relates
to the other. Whatever this is, it has Konsole and Firefox in common
that I know of. There are lots of programs that I have not even tried
to run. I don't want to just lock up my system unless I think I have a
fix. Hitting that reset button may just ruin a install and cause me all
sorts of grief.
I do know this, I ran into something like this before and it was either
gcc or glibc. I'm pretty sure it was gcc. Since this has a history of
fixing things, I may as well try that to. I may add that I did find
where people were having problems with programs crashing when using the
current glibc. It may not be related to my problem but we don't know
that either.
I just finished a emerge -e world and am going to see if KDE will run or
lock up. I'm hoping but not holding my breath.
Thanks.
