I have used earlier versions of mozilla with some sucess.  My problems
started a few releases ago (around 0.8?, I don't remember exactly
when).  I tried to get 0.9.0 working from the .tgz files from the
mozilla site but failed.  So then I decided to try the .rpm of 0.9.1
from the redhat rawhide site.  The program runs but enters a polling
loop before any windows are opened.  One message is printed to the
terminal:

Registering plugin 0 for: "*","All types",".*"

strace shows it sitting in a loop where the following system calls are
made:

gettimeofday({992530964, 57993}, NULL)  = 0
ioctl(7, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}],
 3, 9) = 0
gettimeofday({992530964, 76778}, NULL)  = 0
gettimeofday({992530964, 76891}, NULL)  = 0
ioctl(7, FIONREAD, [0])                 = 0
poll([{fd=7, events=POLLIN}, {fd=8, events=POLLIN}, {fd=5, events=POLLIN}],
 3, 0) = 0

The last system calls which returned these file descriptors were:
open("/usr/lib/mozilla/components/xpti.dat", O_RDONLY) = 5
socket(PF_UNIX, SOCK_STREAM, 0)         = 7
open("/usr/lib/mozilla/components/libwallet.so", O_RDONLY) = 8

ps shows 5 mozilla-bin processes running

Does anyone here have any idea about how I might make further progress?
