>Description:
	(Cc: to Mozilla & Firefox maintainers team for information.)

	As reported on pointyhat, several xpi extensions fail because regxpcom
	or regchrome segfault or have an erratic behaviour:

	E.g. adblock-firefox-0.5.d
	<http://pointyhat.freebsd.org/errorlogs/ia64-errorlogs/e.7.2005090702/adblock-firefox-0.5.d.log>
	or bugmenot-0.6.2 or fr-mozilla-flp-1.7.11.

	After installation, these ports rebuild the chrome registry with
	regxpcom and regchrome, two binaries installed by mozilla or firefox
	(see www/mozex/pkg-install.xpi).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to install these ports on ia64 / -CURRENT.

>Fix:
	Acording to Marcel Moolenaar, the problem relates to SMP and libpthread.
	In particular the saving and restoring of the high FP registers. If this
	theory is correct, there should be no problems if regxpcom and regchrome
	are linked against libthr.
