Debugging with Mozilla and Firefox has been problematic due to the lack
of KSE debugging support.  In general, libmap'ing libpthread to libc_r
should get Firefox to compile.  However, running under libc_r might not
produce any crashes.  At least this is what I'm seeing with a
thunderbird-0.7 crash.
