Description Ulrich Windl 2008-03-11 07:05:50 UTC
When seamonkey is running for a while, typically when idle, there suddenly pops up a GNOME message saying that gecko has crashed. After closing that popup, seamonkey is gone! I had more than eight of such crashes in the current and previous version of seamonkey. Time to report it (See attachment for the latest crash)!

If you disable flash can you get it to happen? 
Comment 4 Ulrich Windl 2008-03-25 07:38:32 UTC
How do I disable the Flashplayer? It's not listed as plugin.
Comment 5 JP Rosevear 2008-03-25 18:52:05 UTC
Flash is mentioned in your first attachment.  If about:plugins doesn't show it though, thats not it.  Do you have any other plugins/extensions that you've installed?

Yet another crash report

This is the latest crash report so far. If you need to find something in common, I have several more saved crash reports.
Comment 8 Ulrich Windl 2008-04-23 13:40:27 UTC
I found out that the crashes are tightly correlated with SuSEconfig being run (while seamonkey is also up): Shortly after SuSEconfig finished, a gecko crash had been reported. So maybe it's related to shared libraries or fonts...
Comment 9 Wolfgang Rosenauer 2008-04-23 13:54:21 UTC
Ah, it could be related (or identical) to bug 361691
Comment 10 Ulrich Windl 2008-07-02 06:24:10 UTC
Today I just updated to these packages and ran SuSEconfig while seamonkey was open (it was open since Monday with a suspend to disk every afternoon):
bind-libs-9.4.1.P1-12.4
bind-utils-9.4.1.P1-12.4
The bug buddy reported a gecko crash in an application it does not know. After saving the report (I'll attach it), seamonkey was gone (and no other application).
That bug really should be fixed!

Since March that's the 14th crash. I could supply all the reports if that helps...
