- IIRC, there was a bug in ICU-58.1, which triggered segmentation faults in
firefox. But this one has been fixed in 58.2. So it must be another one.
Unless someone wants to try debugging that (and maybe find a fix upstream),
we just have to let seamonkey use it's shipped version, and remove mention of
ICU temporarily (until it is fixed).

- Recent versions of firefox do not use gstreamer. I guess since seamonkey is
based on firefox, that might be true here too.

- Concerning MOZ_OBJDIR, I do not know what it would change...

I would say that that is the way to go. I'm happy you got back before I
took that ticket, because I would've gone insane (like I am with Samba
right now).
