Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.5.0.12-8.el5 How reproducible: Every time for multiple users accross multiple machines. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start thunderbird. 2. Click on "Write" more than once to open more than one Compose window. 3. Close all Compose windows. Actual results: Thunderbird exits with a return code of 139. Expected results: Thunderbird not to exit. Additional info:
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).

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.
