Re: Gecko crashing?

are crashing mozilla and forefox on my sarge systems.  This site was
working until recently.

From .xsession-errors:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
    (Details: serial 7812 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
    (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
     that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
     To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
     option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Console message from ssh session to another system:

I don't know if this is related, since I am not getting errors in .xsession-errors, but just today, I was trying to submit a job application online and firefox crashed on me just as the page loaded. I tried this several times with the same results. If I run firefox from the command line it crashes with a segfault. This would be with firefox 1.0.4-2sarge5. The same thing happens with mozilla suite 1.7.8-1sarge3. Seamonkey 1.0, which was installed from the mozilla site, however, does NOT seem to have this problem.
