Browser Crashes



Hi

For the last couple of weeks, my kids and I have all experienced
browser crashes on various sites.

We use any one of firefox, mozilla or galeon.

I've just crashed all 3 browsers on this URL,
http://www.smh.com.au/news/opinion/ .

Each browser produces the following dump (see below cut line) when
strace'd (galeon is replaced with gecko for firefox and mozilla).

I've checked bug reports for the 3 browsers; I don't see anybody
reporting something similar.

I should add, in case this has something to do with X Window, that I
use the latest Nvidia drivers.  But I haven't seen these browsers
crash so frequently like this before (and I've used Nvidia drivers for
a long time).

This is driving the kids and I nuts now (I'm using w3m at the moment).

Ideas?

Jonathan
