Bug#406298: No warning of write failure
Package: nautilus-cd-burner
Version: 2.8.7-3
My CD writer (Optorite CW5205) is old and often fails to complete a write; in
Windows this aborts the process with an error message ("Track following error"
or "Focus or tracking error"), but in Debian Sarge the process appears to
succeed, and the problem only becomes apparent when one tries to read the disc.
This occurs with both .iso images and the CD/DVD Creator.
This may be related to GNOME bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=340822 (no warning after a *read*
failure).

Bug#393650: Firefox randomly closing, then refusing to restart with segfault
Package: mozilla-firefox
Version: 1.0.4-2sarge11
Recently (since about last week's xfree86 security update), Mozilla Firefox has
sometimes (every day or two) either refused to start or randomly closed itself
(without any error message) and refused to restart. Once it has appeared the
problem persists through multiple start attempts, until cleared by either
rebooting the system or reinstalling Firefox (apt-get install mozilla-firefox
mozilla-firefox-gnome-support --reinstall).
On a failed start from the Applications menu or desktop icon, the menu closes
normally but nothing else visible happens. On a failed start from a terminal,
the error message can be either just "Segmentation fault" or "/usr/bin/firefox:
line 349: 3610 Segmentation fault DISPLAY="${CMDLINE_DISPLAY}"
${MOZ_PROGRAM} -remote 'ping()' >/dev/null 2>&1
Segmentation fault".
While it is possible that the cause is outside Firefox (I run a commercial
on-access antivirus which doesn't officially support Debian
(http://www.sophos.com/support/knowledgebase/article/4377.html) and get a lot of
"INIT: No inittab file found" hangs on shutdown/reboot, though /etc/inittab is
in fact present), nothing else seems to be crashing like this.
I am running Sarge, with all security updates, dual boot with Windows 98 on an
Intel Celeron 500MHz, 256MB RAM, RTL8139 Ethernet card connected to college
network. I know how to program, but mostly do games/simulations and have never
worked on anything as security-critical as a web browser.
When I tried to obtain a stack trace, I got the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ firefox %u
/usr/bin/firefox: line 349: 3610 Segmentation fault
DISPLAY="${CMDLINE_DISPLAY}" ${MOZ_PROGRAM} -remote 'ping()' >/dev/null 2>&1

Bug#393650: Under debugger, Firefox now randomly hanging with broken pipe instead
> Please try again with firefox -g (which will launch gdb for you) I did this, and haven't yet seen the original symptoms again, but have seen another crash: after downloading the file StaceyB1Notes.pdf from http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/staceyd/ (a directory listing) and using gpdf for some time, I tried to switch back to Firefox and found only the window title bar and taskbar icon; the rest of the window had disappeared. Trying to close it from the taskbar brought up a "stopped responding" message, at which I selected Force Quit; this closed it, and unlike the previous problems, it could then be restarted successfully. Shortly after opening http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/users/staceyd/ again (without downloading anything this time) and tabbing away from it within Firefox, Firefox hung and again had to be forced closed, but when I opened this page a third time in an attempt to reproduce the crash, it worked normally.

Bug#393650: Firefox randomly hanging-now with trace (sorry)
Sorry about the previous non-traces, I forgot to run bt (hadn't used gdb before
this)...here is one with a trace (from a hang while using the scroll bar (traced
before forcing it closed) and subsequent refusal to restart). {...} are my
comments.
Also included is an APT error I keep getting while trying to build an unstripped
Firefox; is there a problem at the server end?
At the end is a previous series of refusals to start, from which I forgot to
obtain proper traces, but am concerned about the appearance of "js" when I have
JavaScript turned off (though it could well be something else, my home page
https://webmail.ox.ac.uk doesn't contain any JavaScript anyway).
