I do not have this problem with my installation of Mozilla (using the Modern theme). I have found that some bugs tend to be related to a particular theme that Mozilla is using (strange, indeed). Try changing to a different theme and then perform your steps to cause the problem. $ rpm -q mozilla mozilla-1.0.1-26 Also - strace can be a handy dandy tool in detecting why a process is stuck in an infinite loop cycle. Create an attachment with a sample strace from your stuck mozilla-bin process: $ ps ax | grep galeon 5286 ? S 5:45 /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/mozilla-bin $ strace -p 5286 1> mozilla-bin.stdout 2> mozilla-bin.stderr *wait for about ten seconds* CTRL+C to abort Attach the resulting files to the bug to help Chris see what your process is doing. I just tried the 'Modern' theme (I normally use 'Classic'), and have the same problem. I've tried strace, but it produces no output for this situation: mwl@voyager:~>ps -auxww|grep mozilla-bin mwl 29630 44.4 5.5 38852 28500 pts/8 R 00:58 0:32 /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/mozilla-bin --display :0 http://www.google.com/ mwl@voyager:~>strace -p 29630 1> mozilla-bin.stdout 2> mozilla-bin.stderr (I hit ctrl-c after about 20 seconds with top running in another window showing mozilla-bin at >95% CPU) mwl@voyager:~>ls -lart mozilla* -rw------- 1 mwl mwl 0 Nov 27 01:00 mozilla-bin.stdout -rw------- 1 mwl mwl 0 Nov 27 01:00 mozilla-bin.stderr I've just installed mozilla 1.1, built from the source rpm provided at mozilla.org. Mozilla 1.1 has the same problem (but did not, built from that same srpm, on the same machine running RHL6.2 last week). Interesting - I would almost bet that the last command is a WAIT() call. Since you can't tap into the program's process for a system trace - dump the WHOLE bit (it will be large!) into an strace output and submit. $ strace /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/mozilla-bin 1> mozilla-bin.stdout 2> mozilla-bin.stderr & While in the terminal, you can see what's going on by: $ tail -f mozilla-bin.stderr Do the "CTRL+Q" from Mozilla and let it spew until it hangs. THEN, CTRL+C it so that all the results are stored in the file - then submit output as an attachment. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc.
