 Segmentation fault
 
 Is this a bug, or is there something wrong with my system?

With sid i was having problem some time ago with an account starting
mozilla, and in the same box with another account no problem at all. Try
moving/renaming the .mozilla dir or look for some stale links in
/usr/lib/mozilla (with a ppc system mozilla 0.9.7 didn't started until i
removed some stale links from previous version, purging and reinstalling
helped =)...

Hope this helps,


Andrea

May it be that you have Sun's java 1.3 runtime installed as plugin and
don't have libstdc++2.9-glibc2.1 installed? It's an old lib version few
programs use (blender is one), but which Sun's java needs. I had a
similar (can't remember, been a long time) mysterious failure on my
laptop, while the desktop ran ok. Turned out that the dt had blender
installed and therefore the libstdc++. Instead of installing the lib I'd
recommend to install blackdown's jre or jdk http://www.blackdown.org/
instead of Sun's

I tried that to fix a segmentation problem with Mozilla mailnews.  It just
removed an error message but now just gives the segmentation error alone. 
The browser works fine.

Any help for how to diagnose this?

How can I get back to 0.9.7 wihch I also got from unstable? 

TIA,

Moving .mozilla I already had tried - with no avail. As to stale links
in /usr/lib/mozilla: Is there another way to get rid of them, than to
purge and reinstall?

Thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot in advance!

BTW: I got the sid galeon too and it runs OK.

I would have to say it is your system as I'm running mozilla-0.9.8-2 on 
my sid system with no problem. I'm not good enough with linux to help 
trouble shoot but it works on my system (sid, 2.4.17-k6)
