The issue appears to be a double free() which is fatal due to -current specifying A as a default malloc option. >How-To-Repeat: Set the 'A' option to malloc, install flashplugin-mozilla and view a page with flash on it. Closing a window with a flash entity on it always generates the error though hitting back seems a bit hit or miss. >Fix: Unknown. As a workaround I modified /usr/X11R6/bin/mozilla to: #!/bin/sh # # $FreeBSD: ports/www/mozilla/files/mozilla.sh,v 1.3 2001/07/18 07:44:50 sobomax Exp $ cd /usr/X11R6/lib/mozilla MALLOC_OPTIONS="aj" exec ./mozilla "$@" -- Brooks >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
