Well, so much for that idea...

Maybe this is related to arts; I now remember that I had problems with
iceweasel a while back when I tried to get sound from a bluetooth
headset via artsdsp.

Try to run it like this:

ICEWEASEL_DSP=none iceweasel

I use KDE 3.5.9 myself and iceweasel works fine. However, if I set
ICEWEASEL_DSP=artsdsp then I get a segfault, too. The strace output of
that looks similar to yours; it also ends with an lstat of
/usr/lib/iceweasel, followed by a futex and a SIGSEGV.
