fcrozat can explain more about it than I but from what I read on the moz
mls there are some serious problems with compilation (and optimization)
of mozilla that render themselves apparent on i586-pc-linux-gnu -O6
-mpentium boxes like ours ;). Some faulty translation occurred in one
of the important libraries and this is being actively tracked down (or
was anyway, haven't heard much about it of late) on the n.p.m.builds
newsgroup. Your contribution would be greatly appreciated. With some
replaced libraries from a debugger/profiler version I compiled I got
mine to work just fine but that didn't help on others'.
