zsh: file size limit exceeded mozilla-firebird
hmm... since the upgrade to unstable of saturday i lost the ability to run
both mozilla and mozilla-firebird. i receive a "file size limit exceeded".
this is the final part of mozilla's strace:
open("/home/cavok/.mozilla/appreg", O_RDWR) = 8
fstat64(8, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1043, ...}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 131072, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0) = 0x42242000
fstat64(8, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=1043, ...}) = 0
_llseek(8, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(8, "ADdv\1\0\2\0\23\4\0\0\202\0\0\0l\0.\0n\0o\0t\0i\0f\0i\0"..., 1043) = 1043
_llseek(8, 1043, [1043], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(8, "", 131072) = 0
gettimeofday({1074475362, 191090}, NULL) = 0
_llseek(8, 0, [0], SEEK_SET) = 0
read(8, "ADdv\1\0\2\0\23\4\0\0\202\0\0\0l\0.\0n\0o\0t\0i\0f\0i\0"..., 384) = 384
write(8, "1.0\0\204\1\0\0x\1\0\0\10\0\21\0\0\0\0\0\4\0\0\0\200\1"..., 659) = -1 EFBIG (File too large)
--- SIGXFSZ (File size limit exceeded) @ 0 (0) ---
+++ killed by SIGXFSZ +++
looking at it seems that "/home/cavok/.mozilla/appreg" is a too large file,
while it really is about 1.1k only. identical error is from mozilla-firebird.
neither mozilla nor mozilla-firebird new packages have been uploaded
to unstable, so something must be gone wrong with some library under them.
i also tried to move away $HOME/.mozilla, to see if it was related to some
configuration fuckage but nothing changed.
galeon seems to be not affected, fortunately, so i have at least a working browser (brrrr...)
i don't know against which package i should report the bug.
anybody has already seen it?
cheers
