This seems to be due to a miscompilation or mislinkage problem
causing two nsObsoleteAString::sCanonicalVTable and two
nsObsoleteACString::sCanonicalVTable symbols shadowing each-other
respectively. To me this smells a a least bit like "you get what
you asked for" though; I'm surprised their string code actually
works somewhere. See the attachement for a patch that works around
the problem by omitting the code in question.
Dear gnome@ maintainers, could you please commit the attached
patch and bump the PORTREVISIONs of the affected ports (the
problem also affects at least www/firefox) or approve committing
such a change?

Marius
