bug in etch: "iceweasel -safe-mode" segfaults. disabling pango corrects this.



When I go to http://syscp-forum.org/ and scroll down the page,
iceweasel segfaults.  It does so even with a fresh ~/.mozilla and
running with "-safe-mode" option.  The crash happens immediately and
is 100% reproducible.

However, if I use env variable "MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1", iceweasel runs
as expected (no crash).  I got that tidbit from
http://www.debianhelp.org/node/3536/ which was posted to this list
before.  However, in this case there is no output indicating libpango.
Just the segfault mesage.

I think it should be noted that I am running iceweasel under KDE.
Also, the official Firefox2 release works fine.

platform is i386.

$ apt-cache policy iceweasel
iceweasel:
Installed: 2.0.0.1+dfsg-2

to trigger the segfault:
$ iceweasel -safe-mode
( go to: http://syscp-forum.org/ and scroll down the page )
Segmentation fault

the workaround:
$ export MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1
$ iceweasel
