Additional info: -
BTW: I hope gdb caught the exception in the output, since at the crash I got: Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. [Switching to Thread 0xa4fffb70 (LWP 4009)]
Looks like a crash in JS engine (JIT) - nanojit::LirBufWriter::ins0
Hm, I can't reproduce it with the same package...can you provide more precise steps how to reproduce it? Or try to run thunderbird inside gdb and attach the backtrace here. I'll attach instructions...
There are the steps there: -------------------------- Please install thunderbird-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from yum-utils package). debuginfo-install thunderbird Then run thunderbird with a parameter -g. That will start thunderbird running inside of gdb debugger. Then use command run and do whatever you did to make thunderbird 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.
Additionally, please try to run thunderbird inside valgrind (a debugging tool). 1) install valgrind 2) run "valgrind --trace-children=yes /usr/bin/thunderbird" You may get some error messages before the crash so please attach them here.
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. First of all, could we get output of the command rpm -qa *xulrun* *firefox* *mozilla* *flash* *plugin* Please also install firefox-debuginfo (debuginfo-install is from yum-utils package). debuginfo-install firefox 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. Please, install also valgrind (from valgrind package) and run valgrind --trace-children=yes --log-file=/tmp/firefox-valgrind-log.txt /usr/bin/firefox (that's one line command, browser breaking this line into two notwithstanding) Please, attach the file /tmp/firefox-valgrind-log.txt to this bug as an attachment as well. We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information. Thanks in advance.
sorry, the message got included by mistake ... it doesn't mean any additional requirements on your side aside from comment 4 and comment 5

(In reply to comment #5) > Additionally, please try to run thunderbird inside valgrind (a debugging tool). I assume you meant s/firefox/thunderbird/. Upon start-up, I got: $ valgrind --trace-children=yes --log-file=/tmp/thunderbird-valgrind-log.txt /usr/bin/thunderbird Assertion 'pthread_mutex_unlock(&m->mutex) == 0' failed at pulsecore/mutex-posix.c:108, function pa_mutex_unlock(). Aborting. /usr/lib/thunderbird-3.0b4/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 2478 Killed "$prog" ${1+"$@"} Since it did not get any further than just starting thunderbird (crashing as soon as the application fully started), I reran with --leak-check=full as well as suggested by valgrind's output.

You didn't run it with "--trace-children=yes" valgrind options so we get the debug info only from a loader. Please run the valgrind session again and add the --trace-children=yes command line argument.

*** Bug 558112 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
