I can repeat this problem. 

Also, have seen frequent (too frequent!) crashes of Thuderbird of unknown
reasons since installation of this patch.

One user has also noted very slow startup time (> 1 minute) of the app after a
crash (same for Firefox).

I shud add:

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2008-02-13 11:26:55 EST

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided
above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful
in our diagnosis of this issue.

Please install firefox-debuginfo; in order to do this you have to enable
-debuginfo repository.

	yum install --enablerepo=\*debuginfo firefox-debuginfo

(if you use x86_64 firefox, install firefox-debuginfo.x86_64  package).

Then run firefox with a parameter -g. That will start firefox running inside of
gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make firefox
crash. When it happens, you should go back to the gdb and run

	(gdb) thread apply all backtrace

This produces usually many screens of the text. Copy all of them into a text
editor and attach the file to the bug as an uncompressed attachment.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

We are experiencing the same issue for the same TB version in RH4.

Comment 6 Christopher Aillon 2008-02-17 21:35:10 EST

http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2008-0148.html was issued to address the
stability issues introduced in the previous update for RHEL5.
