>Release:        FreeBSD 4.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin.
>Environment:

FreeBSD -current or an environment where the malloc options are
set to "AJ".

>Description:

The mozilla compile coredumps while compiling an idl file in
editor/txmgr/idl with dist/bin/xpidl. After some experimentation
I discovered that this seemd to be due to the fact that the malloc
options "AJ" are set. It seems atleast one person on the freebsd-mozilla
list stumbled on this problem in an older version of mozilla.

>How-To-Repeat:

cd /usr/ports/www/mozilla
make

>Fix:

Maybe mozialla could set MALLOC_OPTIONS to "aj" in the make file
while compiling, or maybe somone could fix xpidl. I guess it must
be accessing uninitialised memory?
