The problem is g++, believe it or not. I tracked down the problem ages ago
and realised that the multiple inheritence C++ code isn't compiled correctly
by g++. I've been testing g++-3.0 with mozilla on and off, but I don't
think
that mozilla is ready to comply with the changes in the new gcc (dies with
missing symbol problems when linking).
BTW, on exit, is mozilla segfaulting? This is usually a symptom of the
above
(destructors aren't being called in most cases, so each execution will cause
a memory leak).
If I get a working mozilla, I'm going to try to fix the build-deps and such
for
alpha so that the autobuilders can build it again and we can have an updated
(and working) browser :-)
