Since it's JavaScript, it might be potentially related to the JavaScript issue we're
seeing in Firefox/Thunderbird [1]. The problem basically is that on sparc64, that the
typed pointers don't work with the address space range that is used on sparc64 (52 bits)
as compared to the one used on x86_64 (48 bits).

If that's the same bug, we're a bit in tough luck as this issue is non-trivial to fix.
