>Description:

	starting from no .phoenix subdir
	firefox produces the following output

Type Manifest File: /usr/X11R6/lib/firefox/lib/mozilla-1.6/components/xpti.dat
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering begins.
nsNativeComponentLoader: autoregistering succeeded
nNCL: registering deferred (0)
WARNING: Error parsing GRE default preferences. Is this an old-style embedding app?, file nsPrefService.cpp, line 762

GFX: dpi=101 t2p=0.0714286 p2t=14 depth=24

but no window is opened.

I tried three suggestions I saw on the list:
	 deleting .phoenix, running fc-cache and make an
/etc/libmap.conf containing

libc_r.so.5             libpthread.so.1
libc_r.so               libpthread.so

Perhaps I don't understand something about the last, because it
outputs

/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: Shared object "libpthread.so.1" not found

Strangely enough 0.8_1 worked ok  on this box.


>How-To-Repeat:

	portupgrade -Rf firefox
	rm -rf ~/.phoenix
	firefox
