The question was not about communicator. This is not a communicator
newsgroup. This is a mozilla newsgroup and a mozilla question.
To answer the original question, I think that the machine that produces
the talkback component is down and people are working on it. This means
that win32 and linux builds have had a broken talkback component for the
last few days (mac mozilla builds have never had talkback, macsbug is
usually sufficient to get useful crash information). The 0.7 release
did not have talkback because the machines that produce talkback builds
were busy making builds on the trunk and were not available for builds
from out short 0.7 branch.
As far as talkback causing crashes in mozilla, I have to disagree. In
the last 6 months alone I've downloaded and tested well over 500 builds
(more than 2/3 of them were talkback) and I can't say that I've seen
even one crash that was caused by talkback. talkback is extremely
useful to us in a number of ways and I encourage people to use these
builds whenever possible.
