Hi,

This is the weirdest crash I've come across related to an rc kernel.
First I tested .29-rc1 when it came out and firefox crashed only when clicking on certain links.
Now I updated my tree and compiled another kernel. This time firefox crashes right after it finishes loading my homepage.
This happens every time, and has never happened on any kernel before.

I did a strace of firefox and these are the last few lines that are always present before it crashes:

gettimeofday({1232129663, 344658}, NULL) = 0
gettimeofday({1232129663, 351300}, NULL) = 0
open(\"/home/justin/.mailcap\", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
time(NULL) = 1232129663
stat64(\"/home/justin/.gnome2/vfs/modules\", 0xbfec4efc) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
stat64(\"/etc/gnome-vfs-2.0/modules\", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=128, ...}) = 0
geteuid32() = 1000
getegid32() = 1000
getuid32() = 1000
tgkill(4615, 4642, SIGRT_1upeek: ptrace(PTRACE_PEEKUSER,4615,44,0): No such process

So far I've tried other programs, but I haven't seen any other crashes.
More information about my computer (including: dmesg, config, sysinfo) can be found at:

I just tested on -rc2 and still firefox crashes upon finishing loading the homepage.
I've not had this problem with a pre-29 kernel.

I'm not seeing this with firefox over here.
The setup I have is the latest beta,
located in /usr/lib/firefox/ with a soft link to /usr/bin/
I don't have gnome2 vfs installed though.
just a bare firefox with 2 plugins(flash,null)
located in /.mozilla/plugins/
for restorecon.

not sure what distro you have, but with ubuntu
I noticed a quit a bit of other links created.
that is installing through apt-get, rather
just downloading the source and putting it wherever.
