>Description:
Although this bug should be gone since 1.0_3, it still happens
with the current 1.0_4,1 port version. But not allways, though.
I wasn't yet able to find out, on which constellation firefox
does crash when trying to print something, but mostly it does
work again for some time after restart. I thought it would have
to do with extensions but even with a clean fresh $HOME/.mozilla
it still does crash sporadically.
Since strace and truss are not very suitable here, i'm willing
to test further when someone can tell me how to gather more
information on that topic.
The first 10 lines of gdb backtrace on the core tells:
#0 0x2899af17 in pthread_testcancel () from
/usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#1 0x2898c0b5 in sigaction () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#2 0x289861e1 in pthread_kill () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#3 0x28985bb0 in raise () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1
#4 0x080554a3 in nsProfileLock::FatalSignalHandler ()
#5 0x2898ac16 in sigaction () from /usr/lib/libpthread.so.1

#10 0x28a41c5f in _ctx_start () from /lib/libc.so.5
If of interest, my system is an intel centrino notebook (ibm
thinkpad t40) and my print suite is CUPS-1.1.22 (all ports up-to-date)
I considered this a critical bug, since you can run in great
problems for example if you try to print out a train ticket
online (or any other important only-once-generated dta) and
your browser does crash, and your ticket is lost.
>How-To-Repeat:
Don't know, just surf around a bit and then try to print
something - sometimes it happens, sometimes not.
