I had this same problem and decided I had bad RAM. Before I could order any, I rebuild my system and |
| 40 |
it happens that I did so with an image that had GCC 4.3* rather than 4.4. Funny enough, firefox |
| 41 |
worked just fine. I did some searching and apparently nspr has issues with a certain function |
| 42 |
enabled in -O2 @ gcc 4.4. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
From the following: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=487844 |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
Apparently if you rebuild nspr @ gcc 4.4 with -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
I haven't confirmed this, as I haven't had time to jump back to 4.4 but if someone can confirm this |
| 49 |
fixes the issue, I'd certainly be greatful! |
