Bug 239635

Description of problem:

System: Linux north.spielhausle 2.6.21-1.3116.fc7 #1 SMP Thu Apr 26 10:36:44 EDT
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

I've observed this happen before: One is occasional crashing of firefox
on sites that have plenty of java and flash garbage (commercials) running, and
now during an attempted system update. I had firefox open and at the same time
the Software updater running. Don't know what to blame, but figured it may
be useful for someone to find and fix more errors. Here is the tail of 
/var/log/messages when the crash occured:

I tried to reproduce this problem but it was not possible. The crashes are
completely intermittent and I don't see a pattern of how they occur.
