The problem is g++, believe it or not. I tracked down the problem ages ago and realised that the multiple inheritence C++ code isn't compiled correctly by g++. I've been testing g++-3.0 with mozilla on and off, but I don't think that mozilla is ready to comply with the changes in the new gcc (dies with missing symbol problems when linking). BTW, on exit, is mozilla segfaulting? This is usually a symptom of the above (destructors aren't being called in most cases, so each execution will cause a memory leak). If I get a working mozilla, I'm going to try to fix the build-deps and such for alpha so that the autobuilders can build it again and we can have an updated (and working) browser :-) C
