There are crashing issues with bad fonts. If you've got the lfp-fonts-* ports installed, start with removing those. Sorry, but that's really the deal here. Realize maintaining a bleeding edge browser built out of cvs means diagnosing what we can; Joe has a lot of experience with mozilla-devel, and it is built from the same source tree that phoenix is. So listening to him is a good idea. Mozilla and Phoenix are easily two of the largest ports there are in terms of lines of code; the fact that it may have been checked into CVS the night before (or the hour before) the release was tagged means that this is serious alpha level code... pre-alpha, or dogfood, is more like it. We can't be expected to understand all of it, and by 2 hours after it was tagged, the bug we're chasing might have been fixed (or not). -- AlanE (Alan Eldridge) Unix/C(++) IT Pro for 20 yrs, likes fixing weird distributed systems bugs.
